Don't forget that soon we will need to throw out out television sets soon to comply with other foolish legislation that has been shoved down our throats. We will all need to purchase new ones for ourselves and don't forget that we will also pay for the other less fortunate people to get converters / new ones as well via taxation. Someone explain how all of this is a good idea to anyone other than a greedy CEO.
The greedier get greedier and the rest of us get the shaft. I refuse to buy a new TV until after February 2009 and even then I debating the merits of it. High Definition improves the picture quality but not the content! I have an HD card installed in my PC and it is great to see the clear crisp video but I am still "wanting" for something good to watch. I have a 21 year old 19" Sony that I will endeavor to keep alive until February 2009. Twelve years ago it blew the main voltage regulator chip and just last week the flyback transformer blew out with a nice puff of smoke. Total cost for me to fix the latest breakdown was $23 which is worth it to me to not have to buy a new TV yet. Plus it "sticks" it to the electronics industry which is more than happy to sell you a conventional TV that they know will be useless in a little over two years.

Schererville, IN		 Just buy computer monitors. I think a 19in computer monitor is $200-$250 less than a 19in lcd tv.(Especially with recent deals)
No need to get a tuner built in, because you will end up using some kind of digital tuner anyways.
