Just my experience that tv displays don't render pc images well. If you have access to an hdtv try it out. Its not a big deal for games, but if you plan on using it as a pc oniter its hard for reading text and seeing detail. My pc screen is set to 1280x1024 which i think falls below "HD" but actually has more pixel density. Its mainly an issue with text for me. I have my pc hooked up to my projector also so i play my pc games at 100 inches at 1080p, but the picture on my little pc screen still looks better. It may just be my preference.

From what I've read, it's because tvs use rectangular pixels ratios, and monitors use square pixel ratios.

rectangular pixel ratios were used in earlier hdtvs and even recently, while newer tvs tend to use square pixel ratios.

that makes sense. the writing just always looked a little fuzzy like it was out of focus.
