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! Dave Taylor HP - Colorado Networks Op. Any suggestions on high quality VCR's would also be appreciated!
