Is it possible to have a TV be a computer monitor and vice versa. I'm building a new office in my home and in the office I'd like to have only a single flat screen device in the room. Bring cable in through the computer? Or are dual purpose LCD/Plasma units available?
Yes. Check out Philips, Princeton, and others. But note that many of the dual-use units are designed for business use and place more emphasis on the display of PowerPoint than of Mulholland Drive.

Computer monitors typically have better resolution than TV's. Why that is, i have no idea. As such, if one wanted to invest in a large enough computer monitor, the resolution would be more limited by the video source than the actual viewing screen.
Keep in mind that this is what i've been told, as i'm not a big videophile. Sean >
I have been seing a friend's HT with projection TV that also hooked up as a monitor to the laptop extreamly clear and successfull. Since he's only home late evening he's got no problems with sunlight but if you do you would probably want to paint your walls in dark-blue or dark- something. It's a great option to HDTV if you can arrange a room. Also on my job very often the new software is demoed through the same setup with projection TV with the great resolution.
