If a person watches a DVD or a Blue Ray Disc even thou they are not very popular yet at the rental libraries on a computer screen - ie., some screens LCDs or CRT have pretty high resolutions, and compare that to a HD TV. What's the general difference? Another question is that with a HD TV, if a person links a computer to it and does his/her email and internet surfing and word processing - how is that compared to a computer screen? Are there computer screens that is also HD qualified? Thanks.	Nomad (952)

If you are playing the video at its native resolution and have an all digital setup, then you probably won't be able to see much difference. Personally, I wouldn't want to use an LCD television as a computer screen or a computer screen as a television purely because as televisions get bigger the PPI (pixels per inch) don't increase once the resolution reaches 1920 x 1080 (so the pixels are much bigger on bigger monitors), and most computer monitors are far to small to be a television.	maccrazy (6741)
