Yes,it has cable and digital cable TV connectors (and I use that feature) and there is a standard monitor connection as well. It comes with a TV remote that allows you to switch between a TV and your computer. I like it. But I recently found out that Windows will handle up to 42 inches of monitor *Drool*. It's great for me, a geezer with bad eyes. You must to set your computer to 1360 X 768 resolution.

>Does it have cable connections? Does it work like a TV too or just a monitor with video and audio inputs?

>>I love it! And it handles HDTV too. So . . . if your looking, heh heh it's worth every penny, unless of course you need the 42 inch model.

>>>Not quite there yet after all. I went to Best Buy, bought a super duper 24 inch monitor, and hooked it up. It now boots to a Windows XP screen and goes no further, not even the password entry dialog. I have been through the Setup menu and Boot menu with no joy other than the C: drive being validated. Having reached and exceeded my tolerance for hardware issues in one day, I just turned it off for the night. As opposed to chucking it through the window. Grrrr....
