What is the cheapest ATSC TV in Canada?
10K.BC asked:
All of the LCD TVs I’ve come across that are below $300 Canadian only come with an NTSC Tuner (ie. can’t receive over the air digital). A few of the $1000+ TVs list a built-in ATSC tuner among the specs, but most shops don’t list it, even on models that have it. What is the lowest priced TV with a built in ATSC tuner?

What stores do you go to? Walmart? Sears? Costco? JC Penney? HH Gregg? ABC?
Everyone of those places has a Low Priced TV with an ATSC tuner in it.
Most of them are likely DYNEX…but I would NEVER buy anything less than a mid-priced BRAND NAME TV like Samsung or Sony or Hitachi or Toshiba or Mitsubishi or LG…..
All the other brands Polaroid, ILO, Dynex, (the new weird unknown brands, like Harley Davidson TVs) are not good investments of your money.
And that’s what you’re striving for…..

Try Best Buy, they will have TVs with ATSC tuners in them for sure. You can also check out Future Shop, as they should have similar models (since Best Buy owns them). Below $300 might be tough to do, but around $300-$350 might be more feasible of an option.
Right now at Best Buy they have a LG 19″ 720p LCD HDTV (19LH20) which has a ATSC/NTSC/Clear QAM tuner for $350. There is also a Toshiba 19″ LCD HDTV** (19AV600U) with the same for $300 even.
At Future Shop right now they have a Sharp 19″ Flat-Panel LCD HDTV (LC19SB25U) for $330 with a ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuner. And actually they have the LG 19″ LCD HDTV** (19LH20) for $300 even.
Costco has an RCA L22HD41 22″ LCD HDTV for $300. It has a ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuner. And I think this might be the same one that Walmart sells if you don’t have a Costco card.
