<< As long as it has stereo outputs, who needs inputs? >>
Well the inputs would be needed to hear the sound in stereo, now if you have a good reciever and speakers then stereo inputs would be unimportant but then again you probably wouldn't be buying this tv.
By the way this is a great deal, I just recently bought an Aiwa 24" flat screen for $300 had I seen this deal I would have gotten it.
