If I buy a TV that has NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuner, does that mean this television in cable ready?

Question

And, would I be able to use this as a PC Monitor as well?

Answer 1

It will also display unscrambled HD channels from your cable co. Most local ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and PBS HD are unscrambled. I don't use a HD cable box from my cable co. and I get those stations in HD. This is info. that the cable co. usually denies but you should try it first before getting a box. Unless you also want to get Discovery HD, ESPN HD etc. then you will need to get the HD box.

As for using it as a PC monitor the TV has to have a RGB imput. Check that it has one before purchasing it.

Answer 2

Yes that means it is cable ready. However, you will only get the unscrambled channels.

As for being able to use it as a PC monitor, that depends on the inputs you have on the TV as well as the outputs on your computer.
