Thank you for the deal. I just wish Staples carried this model (for a PM opportunity) as I have a $600 credit for there burning a hole in my pocket for an HDTV LCD...

That's a bummer

Nice find I got a 32" (332H) model around black friday time for $450 or so. I love it, it's perfect size and in the bedroom I don't need anything larger.

 

[dethman]

remember this one does not have a tuner built in, it's essentially a monitor. but it's a decent price.

 

[CrapHead]

Very good price indeed. Thanks a bunch.

I would still take it if I could afford it. Bummer in that I have a 1200 Bose and am deaf in one ear and almost there in the other, so its sound is lost on me. Wish I could sell it and get the HDTV instead, but that's not going to happen.

I can't get Over the Air HD, and will move to a Dish system when I get a tv that's Hd capable. This means I don't need a tuner, right?

EDIT: Yeah, I read the description. I don't need a tuner. I'll be checking out some reviews and will consider this TV. Thanks OP!

I still would get the tuner, but that's just so I wouldn't have to pay for local channels on the satellite. You should be able to pick them up with an antenna if you're in an urban area. The question is, how much money would you save in the first year by not having to pay for local channels (NBC/CBS/FOX/PBS) and is it worth paying for the tuner up front?

It just pays to think out the options.

Why do they call this a 'TV' when it doesn't have a tuner?

Bought the 237v from Newegg for 699 the Monday following Black Friday.
I have ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuners too, so no need for an antenna. The TV is pretty nice.

I have a NEW (in the box still) Samsung SIR-T151 HDTV Tuner I bought over a year ago but have NEVER even opened it. WOuld this work with this monitor, or for that fact, even a regular 19" LCD screen?

I once had a HDTV tuner and it worked for OTA signals but there was no way to connect cable to it, as I recall, or if there was, it did not pick up any undecoded HDTV from it (really been too long to remember exactly but all I know I used it for was OTA), It did not work well for me because I was too far from local HDTV broadcasts and of those I did get, the signal was too often lost. If you are in a metro or other area with many OTA broadcasts your tuner should work okay. I never tried it with my computer LCD but doubt it would work that way, although I am certainly not techie enuf to know for sure.

I have

No tuner needed. I'm 4 hours from ANY urban area. I can't get OTA HD. I do believe I'll hold off. I'm hoping for some killer deals in the coming couple weeks before the Super Bowl. I don't need the TV any time soon...just looking for a great deal

 

[psykohog]

jmebonner I have Dish with the VIP211 HDTV receiver. Just buy a
antenna and hook it to the receiver. You will not need a tuner for Dish
the VIP211 can scan for over the air HDTV. I have the 537H and
never use the tuner.

Comcast charges only $5 for their HD channels here (you do have to pay for basic channels, of course). That's local channels + cable-only HD channels. So, at $5/month, it is not worth bothering with an OTA.

anyone know of an hd tv tuner that could be used other than the Samsung Model that is sold out everywhere? Would a DirectTV HD receiver work as an HDTV Tuner?

I have no idea if the DirectTV tuner would work, but I can tell you that TriCity Trading on Ebay has lots of the Samsungs available. TriCity is affiliated with CC and sells its returns. I have had good luck with them. I don't know if I am prmitted to link to anything on ebay and am not sure exactly how the name is spelled for serching ebay users (1 word or two, hypehnnated or not) but you can search for either Samsung tuner or just tv tuner or hdtv tuner and you will find some. They seem to sell for a bit over $100 but may ho for less.
Someone in another post said the old Voom (sp?) boxes work well too used only as an OTA tuner, BUT they must meet certain reqirements as shown in the ebay Voom listings. Search ebay and u will aslo see some others.

Good luck
