I want to use my display to watch tv/use my PS2. S quick glance at the features shows that the only difference is the price...and a few buttons (which I may or may not want.)

Just wondering what people think since I've never used a tv tuner before and so don't want to jump on this too fast (though I would like to order it soon)

thanks everyone!

Also, if I order it today in the nest 5 hours 45 minutes I get free shipping.....so, any quick feedback would be nice as well.....Im thinking of going with the nextvision right now...

I bought the cheaper model over a year ago and I've been totally satisfied with it. It has all the inputs you need: RGB (for the PlayStation), VGA (for the computer, if you wish), coaxial cable (for your cable box or antenna), S-Video (for videocamera, I guess), and regular sound output and input jacks.

From what I can tell, the main things that the newer model has that mine doesn't are: parental control (don't need it), closed captioning (actually pretty cool), and 181 channels (I think my unit only does 125 channels, but I could be wrong). Not sure if those features are worth an extra $35, but then again $35 isn't that much so why not? Either way you can't go wrong with either of these models. Get one, you'll like it.
