The cute little LCD display on the back of a digital camera is convenient,
but it doesn't allow for careful inspection of picture quality. Are there
any cameras with a jack for connecting a 19" computer monitor to a camera
intended for studio use?


Many cameras have a video output, but the resolution is so low that
it's really not useful for anything but entertainment.

You want an output for a computer monitor that can display the full
resolution of the image. Such monitors are rare and extremely
expensive, and the eletronics to display that much information is
expensive and sucks power. Think of a computer video card. Then you
have to be able to shovel the data from the sensor to the display at a
really high data rate.

The short answer is no, there are not.
