I'm going to be purchasing a new tv and found one that is a hdtv monitor. Can anyone tell me what this is?

Can you be more specific ? Brand name, model number, etc ?

Generically, an HDTV monitor or TV needs a separate HD STB in order to view HD content.

Its a toshiba 51H83

That set is an HD ready TV. This means that it has an analog tuner for regular SD TV and has the inputs: s-video, composite and component to connect other devices. The component inputs is where you would connect an HD receiver.
