    I am about to buy a new monitor for my PC. It occurs to me that it may be wise to get a 30" or 32" HDTV, and have it do double work as a PC monitor. Does that make sense? If yes, what kind of input must a TV have to also function as a PC monitor? Any recommendations for a particular brand or...
