I realized that I have no idea in televisions what exactly the 720 and 1080 numbers denote. What really does it mean? Do all 1080p's of any size for example have the same exact resolution or can they vary?
Seems to me that the resolution on pure monitors in wide screen is much higher than that for HDTV. Do I have that right? Curious about all that because I think technically I can hook an HDTV tuner up to my 2405 Dell and get broadcast HD widescreen TV here. Not all chanels but the ones that have HDTV shows.
So why would I not want to buy, say, a Dell 30 inch monitor and a set top HDTV tuner instead of a TV whether plasma or LCD? Or does the TV package give me something I can not get with components?
