Sony LCD 26" XBR as computer monitor

Hi

I am thinking of buying the Sony LCD 26" XBR HDTV.

It has a refresh rate of 8 ms and a contrast ration of 1300:1.

Resolution is 1366 * 768.


I generally run my monitor at 1028 *764.


So Can I use this as my PC monitor? What are the good and bad side of doing something like this.

(Never mind about the cost).


When I want TV, it will be pretty good. I'm preety sure.

I am just concerned about how it will perform as a PC monitor.


Also, generally your PC is like 18" away from your eyes. Is this a problem. I know in TV mode that would be way too close.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

Jimmy
