LCD's are VERY prone to damage, whether from shipping or just the random thoughtless poking the screen (I know i do it.. i clean of the fingerprints every two weeks or so) Your not likely to find a 17" LCD for less than $300, while you can get a 19" CRT for around $200 The point that made up my mind...

It's called an RF Converter. If you look in the right places, you can find one online that removes Macrovision from the signals :-) I think Radio Shack has one model that will do it. Most of the converters that remove macrovision run about $50.

I've never had a chance to play with it, but it's only aroun $60, and Koutech makes some pretty sturdy and reliable hardware. Koutech is also known as Kouwell, and if there's a preipheral card out t...
