What about this NEW 23" one from Philips for $304 shipped?

As for ATSC... I really don't understand why this is such a big deal UNLESS you only plan to use it with a rooftop aerial or rabbit ears.
For any other device (Cable, Satelllite, DVD, VCR, etc) it is just fine.
You can always get an external ATSC tuner *IF* you need it, but chances are with all the other ways to get signals into a Display like this, you probably won't.
For instance, if you get a HD tuner for a media Mac, the mac will be feeding the signal via DVI to the display AND will give you all the DVR functionality that comes with the USB HD tuner device.
Now if ATSC comes with the display, that's just great, but in my area we get only 1 channel in HD OTA. By 2009 that may be 2 or 3 channels. Like it or not, I'll likely be using my displays with Cable or Satellite for some time to come.
