Small Boat HDTV - $149 at bestbuy

That's not an HDTV set, though it des receive digital signals. It has
the same number of pixels across as a soon to be obsolete analog tv, and
only half as many vertical pixels (that's how it achieves 16:9 ratio).
True HDTV transmits in either of two flavors: 1920x1050 or 1280x768. And
picture quality wise it's pretty poor at only a 250:1 contrast ratio.
This time last year for only $100 more I bought a Best Buy branded LG,
"Insignia" 19" HDTV. Far better quality, many more features, uses
minimal power running off a cigarette pack sized inverter.
Take it back and get a real HDTV. You won't be sorry.
No room for a 19". This computer is on a 28" desktop monitor FAR better
than ANY TV broadcast with thousands of DivX movies to choose from.
I just found
www.hulu.com
that has lots of FREE movies to watch
online....cool, but the Flash doesn't look near as good as my big DivX
movies off alt.binaries.movies.divx.
