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.
dual screening is nice. BUT if you want to watch tv then i recommend the HD cable box reasons: if you get the tv tuner you'll be using your laptop CPU and RAM which will be unnecessary if you're multitasking. if you get an HD cable box then your laptop doesnt have to be on or near when you watch tv.
HD tv, they are the most versital for the price the TVS have all the inputs you can ask for. HD TVS can actaully become moniters with the s-video cord. most of the LCD hd tvs come with a built in VGA port. i think the plasmas do to. but im not postive
