Looking for a cheap 32" LCD with a built in tuner

3-4 years ago, we bought a TV for the lobby at our main office, and when it got here, I realized it didn't have a tuner built in, so I had to go out and buy a standalone DVD recorder that had a tuner built in to run an analog cable connection from Comcast into so that we could air news channels like CNN/MSNBC on it.

We've just opened a new office, and we're getting a TV for that lobby, but I'm hoping to get something that will just allow me to hook the coax directly into it with a channel based tuner built in.

Specifically at the moment I'm looking at this one. Will it do what I need to do for just basic cable in an office lobby?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

That Panasonic will work and is definitely a good choice. I think Panasonic makes some of the best 32" LCD's out there.

These days it is getting tougher to find "HD Ready Monitors" instead of HDTV's. About 3-4 years ago, finding a large screen LCD that wasn't an "HD Ready Monitor" was tough to do, but thankfully things have changed and the QAM/ATSC standards are being adopted fully in almost all new HDTVs.

Don't expect HD from the internal tuner connected to cable except for your local channels.
