I got a Toshiba 20" TV for $109 on closeout at Fry's. Only better deal
was some cheapo POS at Wally World. I live a couple miles from the
Sacramento Fry's, so I like to go in there and look around. Fry's has
THE BEST selection of HDTVs, including LCD TVs. They also have a lot of
LCD monitors and some computers, although their computers are rather
pricey.

What is the difference between tv sets that are tv sets and those
monitors that look like tv sets that are parked right next to them tv
sets in the stores? Reason I ask is because I am thinkng about buying a
new Philips HDTV 30 monitor ($549.00,was $638.00 at the Wal Mart store)
with Active Control (whatever that is?) flat screen monitor.I assume the
30 means 30 inches diagonal measure of the flat screen and I assume I
can connect the cable from my DirectTV set top box (or cable tv,if I
ever go back to cable tv) and watch my favorite old,old,old tv movies on
the monitor and I assume if I connect a DVD player/recorder set top box
to the monitor,that will work ok too.I assume the HDTV means the monitor
is an HDTV ready monitor.The more I read about that stuff
www.tvpredictions.com the more confused I get.No wonder so many people
look at those HDTV sets in the stores and they walk away empty handed
and more confuesed than ever.By the way,when I buy a new tv set or
monitor,it will Definetly be a CRT tv set or monitor.

Be careful. DirecTV looks like **** on a good monitor (unless you get
the HD DirecTV box)
