Well I just got an email a little while ago about LCD 22 under $150, I don't think you can get a LCD HDTV for that, as a matter of fact I think they are almost twice that price. -Original Message- From: jesse-r...@wi.rr.com [mailto:jesse-r...@wi.rr.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 31,

Funny you say this. I just bought a 22 LCD HDTV for my Daughter's room and was thinking that if/when she gets a computer in her room, the TV will double as a monitor. I have not hooked a computer up to it yet so I cannot comment on the quality yet. Don Guyer Systems Engineer Information Services

Subject: RE: LCD monitor vs LCD HDTV? HDTV will support HDCP as well, which you'll want to get all the features of HD TV. A lot of the LCD monitors have HDMI in now, but won't give you the full benefits HDCP does. -Original Message- From: Phil Brutsche [mailto:p...@optimumdata.com] Sent
