Answer 1

Hi,

When you're using a screen for a PC monitor, there's no settings like 1080i or 1080p, its all measured in pixels like 1080x768. e.t.c.

Also when you're buying a HDTV as a monitor, please make sure it has a vga or dvi port so you could connect it to your computer.

Hope this helps,

I have a 40" 720P, and it works fine as a monitor. For thec uses you describe, it will work well. Just make sure you get a TV with a VGA input.
