Or maybe it's more that at mass production levels, the cost of adding in the tuner (just a few integrated circuits really) is very minimal. Maybe it would save you $5 - $10 bucks or something (if that.) Probably not the sort of savings you are looking for.
On the other hand, I do have a monitor sitting here on my desk (from my video editing phase.) It's a Sony. Quite a bit more expensive than a regular TV (monitor/receiver) but I guess that's because it's aimed at the professional market. The picture and colors are pretty good, and there are tons of connector options (mulitple inputs each for coax, RCA, plus separete R, G, and B connectors, plus some other thing (V/C?) that I don't even know what it is.) Still, no receiver, for that I'd have to pay way more, so I guess they get you either way.
