Ok,
so it seems that lcd tv's are priced a lot higher than regular lcd monitors used for computers. Can anyone tell me the 'real' differences? Is it just that an lcd tv has a tuner (so you can change channels) and a coax in? I mean why would it be a few hundred more dollars when I could get that functionality with a $50 vcr that takes the coax and outputs in s-video to my computer monitor. Thanks for any help that would clear up my confusion as to what lcd tv's really are and why they cost so much more than a regular computer monitor.
