How is a HDTV/EDTV/SDTV different from a HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Monitor?
In order to receive digital broadcasts, a digital decoder must be used to receive and decode digital broadcast signals. Digital decoders can be built into the digital television itself or they may come in the form of a set-top box that is added separately to the television. HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Monitors are digital televisions without a digital decoder built into the television. HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Monitors give you the flexibility to add a digital decoder in the future when digital broadcasts are more prevalent.
