Whew! I was really worried...

Now please explain how this is going to affect purchasing decisions? 
The only factor that is of any relevance is the FCC receiver 
mandates. From what I am seeing, it looks like consumers continue to 
prefer monitors to integrated receivers. It is easier to drop the 
NTSC tuner than to add all of the crap that the FCC is mandating.
