Hi Meg:





If you want to use an LCD TV as a monitor so you can watch TV with the same equipment and also view DVD movies and stuff, I think the best option is to get a model from the ';Touch Of Color'; line from Samsung.





There are several monitors from that line that come already with an integrated TV receiver, that way, you can use it with your PC as a monitor, but it also serves as a standalone TV because you can connect either your antenna or your Cable TV to the back of it and watch TV as in a ';normal'; TV.





By going for that option, you save some money and you won't need to buy extra TV tuner cards for your PC.





Here you have three different LCD's that come already with TV tuner, and of course, you can also use them as a monitor for your PC:

Yea if you want quality make sure you buy a computer with HDMI, you can use that with most new HD TVs. A lot of new TVs also have VGA, thats good too.
Hi there





Im sorry, im not computerized expert. you can stip by Fry or else to get a clear consultants





goodluck
I would go with an AMD system - it's much cheaper. Plus, you're not gaming or doing anything heavy duty so no need for an over-priced Intel.
