My computer and TV are both getting to old and sad.

I want to replace them with a computer that can act as a TV and a computer monitor. I want the computer monitor to take the input from my cable provider.

Is there a computer monitor that can do this? Cost model #?

Thanks

just ask. I bought my 19" lcd monitor 2 years ago and it also doubles as a TV. Cost at that time was 400,000 but it would be alot cheaper now.

I got a 19" widescreen lcd with a built in speaker tha also handles cable TV. Has 4 different inputs actually. Came with a remote too. Brand name is MOTV I bought it online at gmarket for about 250 I think, 6 months ago. Am really happy with it thus far.

How about this one:

From what I can work out:

THE GOOD:
1080p - is this the same as full HD???
Variety of inputs, including RF
internal speakers
Picture-in-picture function
Great adjustability

THE BAD:
Only one type of each input
No HDMI
That stand is uuuugleee!


What do you guys think? Any alarm bells?

We've had a Samsung SyncMaster Magic CX710MP for just under three years and have loved it. Sound is good from speakers and the screen is loverly. Bear in mind that watching TV on a computer monitor will not give you the quality of a TV that you're used to. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

No HDMI is why it's cheap (among other things).
