Question : Is it cheaper and/or beneficial to buy a plasma HDTV monitor VS a regular plasma HDTV, if i have a cable box?
I currently have a 50″ rear projection HDTV monitor I connect to my cabe box and use a a television. I haven’t bought a TV for years becuase I have utilized the signal processor in the cable box. With the new technology, is there really any benefit of buying a TV opposed to a monitor if I have an HDTV cable box?

A monitor is a little cheaper than a tv, but one advantage of having a tv is that you can us an antenna if your cable ever goes out….. nice to have in case of an emergency (tornado, hurricane, wild fires) or you can purchase a set top box that is a tuner.
