Akai 42" 1080p LCD HDTV with Digital Tuner — LCT42Z7TA
This model delivers full HD performance with 1920 x 1080 native resolution. It has a tuner that can receive conventional analog channels (NTSC), as well as the new digital channels (ATSC), including over-the-air HDTV broadcasts, where available, and unscrambled digital cable channels. Two HDMI inputs and a variety of other inputs make it simple to connect DVD players, surround-sound systems, other entertainment gear, and even a computer.
Note: You must have a source of HD programming in order to take full advantage of an HDTV. Otherwise, the picture quality of an HDTV without an HD source may not be much better than that of a standard-definition TV.
