Sony MFM-HT Series Displays With TV Tuners
2 new PC displays from Sony, with integrated TV tuners. A few months back, when I was shopping for a new monitor, this was one of the things on my 'nice to have list' Sure, I can plug a TV tuner device into my Powerbook, but it's not quite as convenient – and the only decent TV tuner type devices I found for the mac were the EyeTV range from Elgato, which struck me as excessively expensive, as well as not being conveniently distributed where I live (and as such, it's quite possible they just wouldn't work). So, I ended up just hauling my old 25" sony TV into the office, and using that instead, and buying a fairly generic 20" LCD.
The 17" model from Sony is widescreen, which strikes me as a great move- but for some reason, they didn't follow that through in the 19" range. Apart from that, they have a good set of inputs, and apparently come with a remote. What we don't know yet is any detail on price – I'm interested to see how much extra the TV tuner costs…
