I would not get an HD TV, but an HD monitor, IF you are not planning on using as a tv. This is because HD monitors tend to cost less because they don't have a tv tuner in them. You can buy a USB tv tuner also if you want to do that later down the road. As far as brands, I have no idea.

well your right, i would not use it for a hdtv but just a monitor, my apartment has free cable tv but i dont use it because imo out of 1000 channels nothings on thats more intresting then say, static noise ...
