Alright I know about 100 people on here have the viewsonic vp171b. I looked at the monitor on their website and I saw this...

I've been looking at that to turn my VP171b into a 17" 1280x1024 LCD tv I have a small room and right now a 13" TV. I think it would be nice to have this. Has anyone else bought one of these? How does it look? I've looked for reviews but have only seen two good ones. Here is one...

Buy a TV card. Unless you want to hook up a ton of crap to your monitor, you don't need an expensive N6 to watch TV.

I just bought a Compro VideoMate TV Gold+ and its sweet for watching AND recording. It's $59 from NewEgg... The N6 is like $200.

You also don't want an N6 because the VP171b does not have a 4:3 resolution, so anything you see while using the N6 will be scaled and noticably blury...
