I'm after a 42" Plasma Display, but want one with a built in UHF Tuner Module.

Does anyone know if there's any around with this functionality?

Cheers

Put a £30 Wintv card in your PC for the teletext?

Question

So what is the catch with the LG plasma then. Is it any good? OK, no tuner but I have a video with teletext...
I see the stand or wall bracket is extra (£300ish) but at this price is seems very good value. No fan so not noisey.
Anyone got one or looked at one in detail?

I posted a question about this plasma about a month ago as I saw it advertised in the back of What HiFi? at Richer sounds - it does indeed make a cheap plasma.

I did have an answer to say it was a small resolution (SVGA?) I think, rather than a more modern XGA res.

Not that this necessarily means bad - just not as many pixels in the screen matrix as there could be......

As I understand it anyhow.....

edited to add....for a better answer look here
