Q. Plasma and DLP technology are not involved.
A. It depends on which is more important to you, using it as a TV, or using it as a monitor.
If you get a monitor and use your PC to receieve the television signal, it will be a great monitor (higher resolution, easier to read text) but the TV will be jaggie and have artifacts.
If you get an LCD TV, the hardware scaler will make it a great TV, but by definition, the resolution will be that of a television. That means as a monitor, the text will be hard to read and it will drop lines of resolution.
So if you use it mostly as a monitor, buy a monitor. If you use it mostly as a TV, get the LCD tv.

PS3 on LCD Monitor?
Q. I've heard bad things about connecting XBOX360's to LCD monitor, that it displays weird bars and has odd resolution and whatnot,
but how about the PS3?
in a few years i plan to get a PS3, and put it right next to my computer, and have it share the monitor - my monitor is a 20.1 Widescreen HP with standard DVI and VGA, and 1650x1050 resolution.
will it work right? It should....
it will display black bars on the bottom on top because the monitor is 16:10, but thats expected. anything else i should know?

A. The main thing with PC LCD monitors, is that in order for it to work with the PS3, the monitor has to be HDCP compliant.
The monitor could have every type of connection known to man, but if it isn't HDCP compliant, the PS3 WILL NOT WORK with that monitor.
In other words, if your monitor is HDCP compliant than you'll be fine, otherwise, you'll need to go out and get a monitor that's HDCP compliant if you're planning to hook up your PS3 to it.
