6/30    Besides speakers and a tuner, are there any differences between TV's
        and monitors? If I buy a 24" LCD w/ DVI, will I be able to use the
        output from a cable/satellite box to my monitor? A friend of mine said
        it might not work, said something about adjusting resolutions correctly
        It's hard to google for this information w/o getting references to
        Linux or retailers.
        \_ Resolution, dot pitch, gamma, ...
           \_ Yes, I've heard these terms, but usually monitors have higher
              res and smaller dot pitch than TVs. I currently have a 2001fpw
              but don't have a cable box to test this with. I don't want to
              order cable/satellite if this isn't going to work. Has anyone
              tried this? Currently, I use the monitor mostly for DVDs and
              connecting to my laptop.
        \_ Some monitors (PVA and MVA technology) are optimized for accurate
           color but exhibit fairly bad ghosting with moving images.
        \_ HDCP compliance is a good idea if you can get it.  It will be
           required more and more in the future.  -ax
           required more and more in the future.  Some cable/satellite
           boxes require it.  If you are thinking of using something like a
           Dell 2405 and connecting it to a HD-Tivo, I would expect that to work, but
           not with HDCP sources.  Check out the Westinghouse lvm-37w3 for an
           example for a 37" LCD panel with DVI/HDCP.  It's $1300 or so.
