First is it even compatible with your monitor? SOme have RGB, some 15 computer type outputs, some component, and new ones DVI. Different models output some signals only through certain interfaces.Second, almost every one has bugs galore (See the avsforum)
Even the brand new Samsumgs (which look good spec wise) have serious issues.Third, the last generation are SLOW to tune, slow to change channels and run hot as hell.
I have the Panasonic TU-HDS20 (discontinued) and would not recommend it. Too slow, too hot, and video drops out even with strong signals.
