Actually, they do make HDTV display-only monitors that have no tuners at all. Commercial models especially, but I've seen others, and by some time next year, a TV can't be sold with an NTSC tuner unless it also has an ATSC tuner.
In any case...thanks to Tivo I never use the tuners in the TV I own, so I wouldn't hesitate to get one without tuners. In fact, I think my next TV will be a Panny commercial plasma with no tuners and no speakers. --chris
