Default 1080p OK as a PC monitor?

It it practical, for example, to use a 37" LCD HDTV set with a
resolution of 1080p, as my PC monitor?
Would PS images still be acceptably sharp on a 37" screen?
If so, that would be way cool because I plan to get a 37" LCD HDTV for
Christmas anyway. I could then just hook up my PC to it and have a
killer browser and PS workspace.


My monitor is 1920 x 1200 with a diagonal of about 24". It sits about
21" from my nose. At that I have pivot my head a bit ... which is
probably a good thing...

As to using your 37" HDTV as a monitor, I wouldn't do that even if the
resolution is fine enough. My computers are in my office, my widescreen
TV is in another room with the amp and 6.1 speaker system...

Two worlds apart as far as I'm concerned...
