    I have been researching televisions and was hoping for some of your help.
    I have kind of narrowed down my search to 2 televisions:
    LGE37LC2D LG 37" LCD Widescreen HDTV
    SAMLNS4051D Samsung 40" LCD Widescreen HDTV

    I really like the price tag on the LG, 1850 from ultimate electronics right now.

    The only problem that I see is that it only has 1 hdmi cable.
    I will be currently only using the television for the HDTV cable box but in the near future will be buying a new HDMI dvd player. I would also like to use it to hook to my laptop and ideally surf the internet. Both have a VGA input, so I guess that I might use this as my laptop doesn't have a hdmi output and doubt if I update that. I also hope to eventually hook this system up to a hmdi surround sound receiver

    Would I be better off getting a tv that has 2 hdmi inputs?
    OR
    Would buying a switch be better?
    ALSO
    What about when I buy a hdmi receiver?
    Will they be able to handle multiple hdmi inputs which would then in turn have only 1 output to the televisions input?

    Several questions but usually not a problem on these forums.

    Thanks
    Jeff

    The more HDMI the better on the TV. HDMI switchers are expensive now.

    A HDMI receiver is still out in the future and will be even more expensive.
