Correct, just plug into the HDMI and go.

$569.99...too much for my blood. Woot, will work for Westinghouse 37” 1080p HDTV Ready LCD Monitors (or cheap USB disco-orbs).

Waited only a few days for this! Woot - you have made my heart full.

I do not have cable, or any other pay TV service, right now I'm using the ole rabbit ears and a new "digital converter" box that will be required in 09...Does anyone know if this TV will work with that set up? The digi conv. box hooked into this monster?

anyone?

also, does it come with the stand? the pic looks like it does, but the "in the box" section doesn't mention it...

Sweet, I'll plug my 360 and my PS3 into the ONE HDMI port...

If I wanted to get standard TV to work on this thing could I just use an old VCR recorder (with s-video out) and plug the S-Video output into this TV, right?

Also, same question again, except this time with a DVD recorder with a NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuner and using the HDMI output in to this TV?

Is this actually a good deal?? Vizio just released a 32" 1080p that looks quite nice with a tuner for $600, so doesnt seem like this is such a great deal. Im just wondering, I have really no clue when it comes to these things and Im really interested in getting one, but dont want to overpay.

Yeah if it has a tuner that'll work, a VCR or DVD recorder as long as it's got the tuner. You'll just have to use those to change channels.

Might be a snug fit, I suggest using a claw hammer.

Yes. It will work, but your box will need HDMI connection to get 1080p signal and a cheap box isn't likely to have that output. Component (3 cables) would look pretty good though. Composite (one, usually yellow) would look fair to poor. Cheap box limitations would likely show up on this monitor. The westy panels are pretty good.

Awesome price, 18% cheaper than newegg. I am in for one.

I bougth one of these from buy.com for $600.00 last month. Lowest priced 1080P you can find. Very attactive but only one HDMI connector. You will need a cable box to use as a TV.Not having a tuner is no big deal. Nice picture with no problems. Very happy with my purchase.

Buy a $5 DVI to HDMI adaptor and you'll have two HDMI ports. Use the component inputs for HD too, HDMI isnt your only option.

How will this look for non-HD content? Ive got dish network but not the high defintion box. Would this still look alright with standard definition? I plan on eventually getting the HD service, just not right away.

I have this TV and I Love it! picture is great and the built in speakers sound really good! Auto source feature is real cool too. This means if you are watching tv from your cable box and you turn on your nintendo wii, it will sense the wii and switch to that input automatically!

How do I know if my box is "HDMI"? will it say that on the box?

No turner. Say it aint so,Joe

Is there a downside to using component inputs over HDMI? I just clicked BUY IT on this as I was in the market for a 32-37" 1080p of some sort (since... oh I dunno.. yesterday) and woot reads 27% of wooters' minds.

you will need a cable box for this to work as a TV. Straight cable feed will not work without a tuner.

do i have to buy converter to watch comcast on this? there's no cable line connector....

carp $47 in taxes. taxsucks only saves $5. Was gonna buy, but now dont know. stupid taxes.

i'm, gonna wait a while before buying a hdtv,
i bet tv's will be really cheap on black friday. I wouldn't be surprised to see this tv for under 500. With the econmy in the pits, big ticket items will be discounted a lot.
I wouldn't get a tv without a tuner, i have a DVR and often record stuff on it and watch local over the air tv at the same time. OTA HDTV has the best resolution, too

this is such a good deal. i want to get it, but i still can't figure out where to ship it to. (i don't trust my apartment complex in regards to receiving packages).

I've had this monitor for about a year and a half and love it. It works amazing as a computer monitor and 1080p ps3 action. It is annoying that this does not have a tuner, but you can pick one up for cheap. Get a converter box coupon and it will tune in OTA. I believe some converter boxes will pass analog through as well, allowing you to tune basic cable. Most older VCR's have a tuner. Digital cable boxes are tuners. Tivo boxes have a tuner too.

You will need a tuner of some sore to watch cable or over the air television.

send it to me, I'll hold it for ya...

Wow, this is a toughy...I 'm in the market for a TV anyway, and this seems like quite a bargain.

There are only two on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/3v5jvc
and both are more expensive.

It's also more on Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/4l6jvk

So it's obviously a good deal, but my question is quality. Has anyone read any reviews yet? I was actually getting ready to buy a Samsung 32" A450 which has great color and darks. This has my interest peaked, but I don't really want to sacrifice picture quality for size...

does it come with the stand? the pic looks like it does, but the "in the box" section doesn't mention it...

I have a 42 Inch 1080P Westinghouse and a 24 Inch Widescreen LCD HDTV ready monitor and they both are aresome. My 360 looks great on the 24 Inch and Im sure it will look great on the 37 inch as well. Lots of hook ups on both TV's.

For those of us, not in the know, could someone explain whether this will work with standard cable tv? Does HD have special connections? Will the standard TV picture look ok?

Thanks in advance!

hmmm... need the money for other things. this looks nice though!!!!!!
i'd get it if i were rich, but i'm not, so i obviously can't get it. :-o

just click the picture of the tv, and if you see the slot for your cable wire, it should work!

not all. i don't like the blurry/fuzzy screen that some of these tvs have. although both could have it i guess

Love the image! I Just saw Vertigo this weekend!

Cube9 wrote:Sweet, I'll plug my 360 and my PS3 into the ONE HDMI port...

go to best buy or some where like that, and they might be able to hook u up with something so that you can plug both into the same slot

what would be the set up if I want to hook it up to cable box and computer? would I have to keep switching the connection between puter and cable box ?

Just showed this to my friend with a 35" 720p resolution and he said to go for it. So I bought one and selling off my 22" LCD monitor and some other random carp on ebay so I can upgrade to a better one. Can't wait for it to come in!

Since this tv has no tuner, what's the remote for?

How much does a refurbished one of these sell for?
