choosing an LCD Monitor for computing and TV

[Greg Rundlett]

I'm trying to pick out a (LCD) monitor for home, and found what look
like a couple good choices at TigerDirect that cost < $350.  I'm
interested in getting this monitor hooked up to a TV tuner card (which
I also have to buy), but I'm not sure if there are anything special
that I need to look for.

I'm researching it (e.g.

), but I thought others might already have a good opinion on what to
get.  I've seen the discussions on MythTV so I know others on the list
have set this kind of thing up.  I'm a bit leary of things not
working.

Amazon has the same price, but Tiger has a rebate.

I think the second monitor looks better.  What do you think?  Do you
see any reason not to get it?
