If you're planning on HDTV, you need a progressive scan monitor, and a satellite dish or cable system that carries HDTV programming. You'll also need a digital converter box, but usually the cable or satellite company will provide one to you for little or no charge. Your sales guy is mistaken with respect to regular broadcasting over a progressive scan TV. It looks fine, though obviously not as good as HDTV. As to the size and dimension of the monitor, HDTV signals are broadcast in the 16 x 9 format, so ideally you'd want a monitor with the same screen dimensions. With direct view TV's, 34" is as large as the 16 x 9's go. Rear screen TV's go larger, but they have the disadvantage of a narrower viewing angle than direct views. Brands to consider are Toshiba, JVC, Samsung, Panasonic and Sony. Stay away from GE and RCA (also known as Scenium). Mitsubishi does a good job with rear screen TV's but they've been out of the direct view market for a few years. Too bad. I've got two Mitsu's that are over 12 years old and they've been perfect.
