Apropos <a href="http://blog.lordsutch.com/archives/3104" title="HDTV">the previous post</a>, now I’m leaning towards <a href="https://www.westinghousedigital.com/p-19-27-lcd-tv.aspx">this model</a> from Westinghouse, which has the twin virtues of being slightly bigger than the Samsung and about $150 cheaper at retail; it also looks pretty comparable in person, seems to be getting good reviews at AVSForum, and has all the same inputs—well, except it has DVI-HDCP instead of HDMI, but I can live with that. On the other hand, it may be prudent to hold out until March, when the digital tuner mandate kicks in for 25-inch and larger TVs, although it’s unclear how many of these TVs will include CableCARD too—the newer sub-$1000 models seem to be only including over-the-air ATSC (digital TV) tuners, since apparently slapping a PCMCIA slot in a TV is more expensive than you’d think. http://blog.lordsutch.com/archives/3110 http://blog.lordsutch.com/atom.cgi/entryid=3110
