Hey thanks so much guys. Ive received the monitor and checking it out now and have a few more questions.
I have 2 dvi ports in the back of my video card, no hdmi out.
1) Will a DVI-to-HDMI cable be all I need to view the monitor in 1080p? with 2 dvi out ports can I use the new monitor in 1080p and still have a port open for another lcd?
2) In order to watch tv from the monitor, would I have to plug the cable box into the graphics card? or could i bypass the graphics card and use the 2nd hdmi out to plug the tv into the box and just change the input?
thanks guys much appreciated.

So I am a very impulsive person who loves a good deal.
I picked up a Samsung 24 inch monitor/tv (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...425&nm_mc=BFUS) for 219 bucks. I opted to pay a bit more for a monitor with a tv tuner as I would use it for both. But as I wait for it to arrive, i have a few questions:
1) I want to verify my gfx card can display 1080p
2) Would it be possible to have 3 monitors with my one gfx card (listed below)
3) I currently have att uverse that uses a phone line to send information. My inclination is im going to need a box to watch tv from the monitor as the box the box would provide the coaxial conversion. right?
4)and lastly is the monitor worth the 219?
thanks guys.
