	I am interested in purchasing a VCR (VHS format, I guess...Beta
seems less popular...besides all my friends have VHS...) and, since I
don't have a TV yet, I have been thinking of alternatives to just going
out and buying a TV AND a VCR (mucho dinero!).

	Anyway, I was reading the userguide (term used loosly) for a
friends new VCR, and it said that the output of the 'video' line, fed
into a monitor, was of a far higher quality than modulating/demodulating
through a regular TV...

	My though then: why not buy a GOOD VCR (top-of-the-line type) and
a decent color MONITOR rather than a TV?  The logic being that the main
difference between the monitor and a regular television is that the monitor
wouldn't have a redundant tuner section (which a VCR has anyway).

	Any comments?   Anyone actually done this?  Better yet, will it
work?

		Thanks!

Any suggestions on high quality VCR's would also be appreciated!
