1080p HDTV as a monitor?

[Costanza]

I've been shopping around for an HDTV. I was leaning toward a 62" Mitsubishi 1080p DLP, but then saw the new HP 65" DLP. I had assumed that the Mitsubishi would serve well as a monitor for a home-theater PC, but the more I read the less sure I am, because it seems it won't accept a 1080p signal via HDMI input.

Then I found the new 65" HP 1080p DLP set. Along with some great reviews I've seen online, I also have seen some posts from people who have been playing games at 1920x1080 on the set. As a bonus, I can get a nice educational discount on the set.

Now, it wouldn't let me 4-table with no overlap, but it'd be close. And I bet I'd be able to see the cards from 10-12 feet away.

Anybody here have any experience using a setup like this?
