I have a Samsung UN19F4000AFXZA LED TV with a cracked LCD. If I can't find a replacement screen from salvage, how can I convert the built-in digital tuner into an external digital set top box?* I want to receive ATSC over-the-air digital TV signals for display through the tuner to an LCD computer monitor with a DVI input.

*Conceptually similar to the one featured here:

Here's a link for the TV, which is still available for sale:

Thanks, Dave! This set has no SCART socket, but it does have two HDMI sockets: one is labeled "HDMI In 1 (STB)" and the other is "HDMI In 2 (DVI)." If I understand you correctly, is there a way to use one of them as an "HDMI Out?"
