That's absurd. There are a large number of monitors on the market 
today. This is especially true for plasma and LCD (direct view).

But most sets today DO include an NTSC/analog cable ready tuner. The 
real question is whether the CE manufacturers will drop the NTSC 
tuners and sell pure monitors, or byte the bullet and include the 
full tuner assortment?

I would say that you have it backwards. HD displays with integrated 
digital tuners are selling very slowly. People are buying HD ready 
sets with analog tuners by a factor of 10:1 over sets with digital 
tuners.
