1080p OK as a PC monitor?

Some of the current crop of LCD HDTV sets have resolutions of 1080p
(typically 1920 x 1080 pixels) and some ALSO have PC inputs.
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...

You would need to sit rather far away from the screen, though, and your
eyes might find the different distances from keyboard, document and screen
uncomfortable....

I am sitting 24 inches from my screen because of poor eyesight. My screen is
32 in

It's not an issue of whether he has your real one or not. It _is_ an issue
of him (and many others) not wanting to see those words on a computer display
that for many is a computer multiple members of the family use or watch.
This is NOT an adult oriented newsgroup that would otherwise be restricted
as to who can access it. This is about a topic that should be open to even
young children. It sounds to me like the OP plans to add a block to prevent
your messages from ever showing up. And I concur with his plans. I suspect
quite a number of others will eventually do so. Your personal readership
will decline. So I suggest you make some adjustment to the name and fake
email address you have chosen. Fake ones are still OK. It's the offensive
ones that are an issue.

That is reasonable.
