Not all HDTV's are the same. There are two main types of HDTV. The first being an HD Monitor. This type of TV can support an HD image, but it requires a seperate set top box. The set top box serves as the HDTV decoder, but they can be pricey. To avoid having to make this seperate purchase, an HDTV with either an HDMI or DVI interface is required. This is the best type of HDTV to get, as it does not require a seperate set top box. By spending a little more for an HDTV with this type of connection, you will save alot more in the long run!! Also, more and more DVD players are capable of using DVI and HDMI connections. HDMI and DVI provide the CLEAREST IMAGE you can get!! Spend a little more!! Get that HDTV with these types of connection!!!
