BINGO!

That's what I'm trying to determine

I did see where Samsung makes a combo TV/display with
high resolution but the smallest is 26" I think

On a screen that small you are not going to notice a difference between
1080i and 1080p (and 720p)

I realize with off air TV programming it wont make any diff.....

My question is NOT abt that.... instead I want to know if 720p will make
for good PC monitor? Or if better to get 1080p unit

Christ, just get a 22" monitor and put a tuner in the PC. $250 max. If
you shop around you can do it for less than $200.

It sounds like you are kind of new at this.

I'd REALLY love your attempt to say how the above is wrong.

Yeah I may have to... dunno

Id really like to use a TV tho as might be handy at
times to just have the TV only on and using its built
in tuner

The 22" LG I mentioned earlier has another model with a digital tuner
integral.I'm talking about the UK though,I don't know if the digi tuner
will work in the States.
Does anyone know if it will? (out of interest).

Here's the link to the model with built in freeVIEW.
It also has a 3 yr guarantee.

The 22" Vizio works fine as an HDTV and PC monitor, after much
experimenting since the manual is inaccurate. I have it set to
1680x1050 on an HDMI-DVI cable from a Radeon video card. VGA did work
but not as well. The Vizio has to be on and set to HDMI before booting
the PC, otherwise the Radeon doesn't recognize it. Likewise it stops
working after being switched to TV. "Lock Web Items" in the XP display
setup makes the background image fill the screen, don't ask me why.

At arm's length I see quite a difference between 1080 and 720. In the
store the Vizio's picture quality was about as good as the larger
sets.

I recently posted this:

Their new 22" just got a near-rave review in the U.S. mag, "PC
Magazine." http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2333556,00.asp

I keep an eye on such things & Ive never seen a 22 or 23" HDTV that
was 1080p IIRC. Cant even recall a 26", & there are few 32".

No, the digital tuners in UK models will not work in the U.S. There is
also the power issue. The U.S. uses 120 volt 60 hertz. Some TVs have
"universal" power supplies that allow the TV to be used on different
power systems some don't.

Maybe not the digital tuner but most UK TV's now accept 100-120v and
200-230v and their respective 50 or 60hz frequency.
