You can run your PC on a TV and I have done that to my LCD TV
The results were ok but nothing I would want to use for gaming or internet browsing.
PC monitors offer much higher screen resolutions which is why they are much more expensive given their realtive screen sizes.

These monster screens by Dell are going to put pressure on TV makers to offer higher resolutions.
Of course those will not mean much until there is support for HDTV programming higher than 1080p


Hope that answers your question.
While a nice large TV can be used as a PC display a true PC monitor is still superior for games and everyday tasks.
I see what you mean. Thank you .
