A tuner is for getting different channels. Example: With a tuner built in you can get all the unscrambled channels from your cable company and without a tuner you would need a cable box or some other tuner to get the cable channels.

Very true on being able to see a difference in 720 and 1080 as I looked at them at the store. I did see ESPN game in high def and it was like being there. I'm not really sure what a built in tuner is for, except maybe adjust the signals for best viewing?
