Okay, I am a newbie on the subject. We are looking at buying something big screen for the home. I saw a HDTV projection TV that I liked but forgot to ask a question to the salesman. In the back with the inputs/outputs there is no input for coaxial cable. There was however inputs for everything else. Would this only be considered a monitor? How would you go about hooking up? What would be the options here? Both my Surround Sound system and my DVD recorder both have inputs for coaxial. Could it be connected this way? We also have digital cable with an HDTV box being installed very soon. Would this be how I hook up the set?

Hard for me to say 100% without seeing it for myself, but I think you should be able to hook it up through your surround sound no problem.
I know when I got Direct Tv this year that they prefer to install it using the RCA jacks (the yellow, red and white ones) as opposed to going through the coaxial cable. They can't do that if you already have a dvd player hooked up to your tv and no extra jacks though.

Once you get you HD cable setup they'll provide (read: You'll buy) a set of cables that will be red blue & green (component video) that will go to the back of the TV or you can upgrade and get an HDMI cable for higher quality picture.

Got it. Thanks for the replies. I actually went with a different TV model that had many more options.
