[mdlug] Moniter w/tuner vs HDTV

[Robert Adkins]

That's a nice monitor.

The closest thing that Computer Direct has is the ASUS VH244H, which is a
sexy hot monitor. 1920x1080, 20,000:1 Contrast ratio, 1HDMI port, 24.4
inches, it just doesn't have a tuner built-in. They have it for $229 right
now. (You could pick up a Happauge HD TV Tuner for about the difference in
price with that Samsung and end up with a larger screen, along with the
3-year Warranty that Asus offers on their products.)

Anyway, I have the Asus monitor and it's unbelievably awesome. It's best
monitor that I have ever owned.
