Stupid question: Do you really need a TV?

Generally an LCD monitor will be cheaper than an LCD TV.  Compare that
TV with something like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236079

It's an inch bigger, has a higher resolution, and costs less.  All it
lacks is a remote and tuner, but if you don't need those, it doesn't
make sense to pay for them.
