I'm not familiar with the hardware you are discussing, but there is
a reason computer monitors cost much more than TV's of the same size.
High resolution monitors are expensive to produce. There's been some
price reduction in recent years, but high res CRT's remain an
expensive component. There's plenty of competition in the computer
monitor business; sales volumes are very high. I doubt you will
be happy with any solution using a TV. You certainly should SEE
a demo before committing. I might also worry about compatibility
with various software packages which are designed to work with
"standard" computer graphics hardware.
As to choosing a computer monitor, I would recommend you go to
your local CompUSA and compare. Choosing between a Sony, NEC, or other
high quality device is largely a matter of personal preference.
