1080p HDTV as a monitor?

the set's been out for about 5 minutes, so my guess is now. it is getting favorable press at avsforum. good that you're doing your homework on the 1080p/inputs thing, i'm sure that will shock a lot of people when hd dvds come out and they can't get 1080p. generalized info on htpcs should be enough for you to read about in terms of using it as a pc monitor.

I was gonna get the new Sony SXRD set, but the lack of 1080p inputs completely killed it... what's the point of spending 5 grand on a set without em? Also, as Astro pointed out, it's completely new technology, so it's unknown and probably overpriced...

BTW, Astro, I think you've personally helped me out like 5 times in the last two weeks (including my thread on teh tv). Thanks again.
