Computer monitors are already capable of resolutions equal to or greater
than that of HDTVs. Basically, using an HDTV as a computer monitor would be
nothing special.

None I am already running at 1280x1024 on my 21 inch monitor so why
would I connect my computer to my TV. My monitor can also be run at
1600x1200, but I don't do that very often.
