As obvious as the answer to this question may seem to some of you, there are actually more than one reason you would want to buy a cheap HDTV. The top 3 reasons to purchase an HDTV at a lower cost would be:

1.) budget,

2.) buying for your children and

3.) buying more than one.

Let's explore these reasons in more detail...

1.) HDTV On A Budget

This is the most obvious reason. You've noticed a trend that your friends, family and all the rest of the Jones' are getting bright shiny new HDTVs and it's eating a hole in your wallet not to have one of your own. But when you check your budget you realize why you don't already have one - you're 'extra money' isn't as plentiful as you wish. Remember, no one - other than you - have to know how much your HDTV cost.

2.) HDTV for your children

This is a situation I found myself in recently. My pre-teen is asking for a HDTV for Christmas. Wow! I think I was asking for a $10 action figure when I was his age... but I digress.

Now granted it probably isn't worth buying an HDTV for your child just to watch TV shows in high definition. However, if you have purchased (or plan to purchase) a newer video game system like the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 then you're really wasting your money without having it hooked up to a HDTV.

3.) More Than One HDTV

Have you just moved into a new house and want to have all new high definition TVs? Have you decided it's time to step up to the 21st century with your television viewing and want to upgrade a few of your rooms? Imagine soaking in a hot jacuzzi bathtub with a 27" HDTV starring down at you. Now that's luxury living and if you do it correctly, you can purchase cheap HDTVs and not have it break your bank account.

Summary

Ok, if you fit one of these situations don't worry there are solutions for you to get what you want without spending a fortune. First decide if you can wait 4-6 months. If you can then the in-store prices will drop. If you have to have it sooner rather than later then look for auctions, clearance and refurbished items. If you can find clearance or refurbished HDTVs that still have a warranty that's the best.

There are lots of ways nowadays to watch regular TV programs on PC, but what provides High Definition TV?

First off, you will need a flat screen monitor on your PC that has HDTV-quality resolution. Most of the PC manufacturers offer discount on package when you buy the new PC model with dual-core processors and with HDTV-ready flat screen. You can be better-off avail of this package.

Otherwise, using your not-so-old PC, just buy a reasonable size flat screen with HDTV-quality resolution. You will connect the PC's output to your HDTV-ready flat screen. There are two interfaces available that you can choose from: HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) cable. Be sure to choose the right cable when connecting to your flat screen. The most common one is the DVI interface.

Above is to output the signal from your PC to flat-screen display with high-definition quality.

Secondly, you will need a source of HDTV programs - this is the input. There are two ways to get digital-quality TV sources:

1. Using an HDTV Tuner Card and subscription to HDTV cable and satellite services. The tuner cards are available on your local PC shops that you can install to your PC through USB (Universal Serial Bus) or PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) interface. Your local cable service provider will provide the HDTV-ready channels for a monthly subscription.

2. Using PC software to access HDTV-channels through high-speed internet connection. Very important to have a broadband connection with at least 2MB download speed. This is more practical and easy option to watch HDTV channels instantly. Just need the software to access the channels to be installed on your PC.

That's about it. It's not difficult to setup, and it's really worthwhile, especially when you are already watching high-quality TV and at the same time checking your e-mail or chatting online, it's cool!
