Well, then .. the chances may be better when buying a proper computer monitor That walmart thing you linked to looks like poor mans LCD TV (which probably is exactly what it is supposed to be). Too lowres for HDTV and computers, 4:3??
The WalMart link does have some inaccuracies in the specifications. This is why I wanted to test it myself before announcing that it works (or doesn't work).
My unit is an LCD television, yes. I bought it for my bedroom, as my older tube televsion is 13 years old. I don't need anything bigger for late-night televsion viewing. I have a proper HD bigscreen in the living room for movies and normal hours television viewing.
This unit does not have proper HDTV tuner, but will display a 1080i signal if fed from an external HD tuner. There's also a button on the remote for 16:9 display by adding black bars to the top and bottom.
I won't go into why I didn't buy a proper widescreen, HD tuner model. I'm happy with the unit I purchased.
