what good LCD monitor with TV tuner could you recommend? ?

Q. I understand the parameters, but parameters are one thing, and the real experience can differ greatly.

I'm looking for a LCD monitor with built-in TV tuner and remote control, preferably non-wide ; max 16:10 -, around 20'' and in lower cost category.

Could you submit some recommendations please?

A. good quality LCD monitors don't come with built in TV tuners..
u should rather go in for LCD TV's instead...

If you still want to go with LCD Monitors only.. I would suggest buy an external TV tuner long with a good monitor..

Dell sp2208wfp is an awesome choice...

Difference between LCD(or Plasma) HDTV Monitor or TV?

Q. Is it really as simple as the monitor doesn't have tuner? Why is a monitor so much cheaper than a TV? Why would I buy a monitor over a TV(Pro's and Con's).

A. HD monitor: This is a monitor that is capable of showing at least 720p signals natively, which is the minimum to be considered HD. Because they lack built-in TV tuners of any kind, however, they can only officially be called "monitors." But since most people get their HD programming from their cable or satellite operator, the increasingly scarce HD monitor can be a great value.

HD-ready TVs: The jury's still out on what exactly this means, but loosely and generally this refers either to an HD monitor with no tuners whatsoever or to a TV that can accept and display HD signals of at least 720p but has only an NTSC (standard TV) tuner built in. Again, since they lack the built-in HD tuner, these TVs are often a decent bang for the buck. The FCC has mandated that all TVs over 25 inches must now have built-in HD tuners, so it's increasingly hard to find large-screen HD-ready TVs, but deals abound online.

HDTV: This is a TV that can natively show at least 720p signals and has built-in NTSC (standard) and ATSC (HD) tuners, so you can grab over-the-air HD signals using an antenna. This knocks up the price a bit, but the advantage is you can use things like HD-ready CableCards and other space-saving technologies.

-----

If you subscrible to cable or satellite, you'll be fine getting an HD monitor and saving some cash. If you plan to use an antenna to snag over-the-air HD broadcasts, you'll want to get an HDTV so as not to have to purchase the necessary tuner.

LCD Monitor vs LCD TV ?

Q. I'm buying the display screen for my ps3 but I don't know which is better and what are the differences ?
Price is not major factor, also are monitors usually smaller than TVs ?

A. It depends on how important you think graphics mean to you. An LCD TV is bigger than most monitors but sometimes have issues with input lag, which is how long it takes to display an image on the screen so the tv can process the image and make the resulting image more vivid and colorful. An LCD monitor, however, do not process the images, they merely show it, which results in no input lag, but typical monitors are smaller. So, the bottom line is if you sit farther away from your tv and like colorful picture quality, than an LCD tv is for you. If you sit closer to the tv and like fast gameplay, than an LCD monitor is for you.

Just got hd lcd monitor want to use it as tv.?

Q. Hey lol first off ill start by saying im not very technical when it comes to this stuff, but basically my buddy justbought a brand new hd tv (huge) for his ps3 and well as just tv in general, well on the road he used a westing house l2410nm lcd monitor for his ps3, but since he got that he gave it to me. I don't want to use it as just a ps3 hook up, but also would like to use it as my general purpose tv. Somone told me get tv tuner and somone said get hd cable box... not quite sure what each is and their price or how i use them could anyone point me in the right direction and elaborate more on what i need to do. ( i have no intentions of using the monitor for my comp cause i have a laptop. Thanks.

A. I Checked out your monitor at the manufacturers website, and I looked at all the ports it has. I hate to have to put anyone down, but the post on C Net tells you a way that works on all monitors, but it really difficult and requires a desktop computer. In your case you will need some sort of a conversion box if you do not have one. If you want HDTV, you will have to subscribe for HD service and the box comes with it. Below are all the ways you can have television:

Depending on how you get your television, there is a few ways you can hook it up.

If you have tivo or another DVR, or if you have a VCR or DVD recorder that you use to record TV, you can go ahead and set up your monitor without a box as mentioned in the end of this answer.

If you pay for your TV service you either have cable or satellite, you will need a set top box (a box with its own remote, in some cases the remote may also work for you TV), if you do not have one, you could call your service provider for one.

If you do not pay to watch tv, you either have an antenna, or cable provided by an apartment or office, If you have an antenna, you need to buy a digital converter box if you do not have one already. You will need to buy one if you have an antenna anyway because tv goes digital in June. If you have cable, ask the person who pays for it for a set top box.



Once you get a set top box, or a digital converter box, if you do not have one already, there are a couple of ways to hook it up:

The easiest way is to use a composite cable( It is made up of a yellow cable, a red cable, and a white cable, and almost everything is compatible with it) and just plug in each cable into the ports on your box and monitor.

If you want better image quality, you can use a component cable or an hdmi cable if the box has the ports for it. An HDMI cable has one plug, and the port is rectangular, with no screws, you just plug it in, A component cable has 5 plugs, Red, White, another Red, Green, and a blue one, one pair of red and white should be seperated, or have somthing different about it.

If you have any questions feel free to email me at aminy23@gmail.com

What is the difference between an LCD Monitor and an LCD TV?

Q. Why are LCD Monitors cheaper than LCD TVs? Both receive and process digital information so why the big price difference? Is it the resolution and clarity? Or is it just a rip off the industry doesn't want you to know about?

A. Those LCD panel for Monitor use is design main for text display. LCD display panel for tv use is design for image/picture. is not the same panel, some technical difference ! A low end standard LCD monitor price can be cheap, but a good monitor should be cost more than LCD tv ( compare to same size screen ). For TV..LCD display + tuner RF > IF> colour decode > Audio RF>IF> ..... Total many other parts and circuit design . Monitor need good Resolution LCD panel + VIDEOS display circuit , because of resolution ,LCD Display panel price always high,or even very high ! ( unless ,some cheap monitor use bad resolution panel ). maybe make is more sample for this... F1 engine and WRX sport saloon car engine, is engine, but difference design because of difference NEED !

Should I get an LCD monitor without a tv tuner or an LCD TV with tuner?

Q. Should I get an LCD monitor without a tv tuner or an LCD TV with tuner? I'm thinking about getting a 30-32" screen for my computer that I will use a lot (and mostly for computing purposes and probably watching Blu-Ray and Netflix on). It seems like LCD monitors without tuners that are 30" are significantly more expensive than LCD TV's. Why is that?

Which should I get?

A. I would suggest getting one without, and buying a tuner for your computer. Only 70 bucks at best buy and you can get a even better monitor without the tuner. It sounds like you are getting a TV that doubles as a Computer Monitor which in most cases is not good. A true monitor will give you the best quality compared to a tv with Monitor Capabilities. Also you can hook up your Cable to the TV tuner and DVR shows, and save yourself some money but not having a dvr from the cable company if you have one already. Go Single Monitor Only, you will be much happier, and buy the tuner separate. Link below for Tuner Cost. I am sure there are cheaper out there but this is the one I use and it has been great.

What is the difference between LCD TV and LCD monitor?

Q. I want to purchase a LCD TV/LCD Monitor for my PC. Which should I purchase - LCD TV or LCD monitor. Is LCD TV harmful for eyes as compared to LCD Monitor? Which is the best one LCD TV or LCD Monitor?

A. A LCD MONITOR does not have a built in tuner...

That's the ONLY difference between the same model...

They are great if you know you'll be connected to Satellite or Cable and using their HD Set top boxes for the next 10 - 15 years.

If you're unsure, get the LCD TV.
If it was harmful to the eyes, do you think they would be allowed to sell it?

A. You need to have an input on the LCD monitor which matches one of the outputs on the DVD unit. Most LCD units these days accept a variety of inputs. List the respecitve inputs and outputs, and if you find a match, the appropriate cable will do the trick.
