People were doing 1024x768 15 years ago on computers, "high-definition" for a PC is a marketing point for stupid people that don't know any better.

Yep, way better than all those standard definition PC monitors. I'll bet it's even a flat screen!

Full HD 1080? Or maybe just HD 720?
They need a better copywriter on their advertising material, perhaps someone who has used a computer and LCD monitor at least once in the last 5 years...

Give me an old CRT any day. Better for the eyes.

Perhaps it has a ball-less mouse too!
I wonder what marketing hype they'd come up with for my 2560x1600 monitor... SUPER SUPER HD?

20inch HD Monitor? Hmmm.
Wonder if it can compete with my 26inch HD TV as a Monitor. :P Yep, the PC lives under the TV and I use a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Most digital TV's can take various PC Video input signals.

Careful Zenny. The one who says it first always loses.
Get ready for the "Well, that's nothing, I've got a xxxx with a yyyyy and a zzzz. I just hook it up to my PDQ."
This might be a dumb question, but if it is high def, does that mean I can see text on my screen at about half the size as what I am looking at now? I mean, does it have twice the pitch...or whatever? Please someone answer. Maybe the screen is nice. Although it seems doubtful at that price.
Oh man. I just cranked my screen up to its highest resolution just for fun. Wow. My graphics card is going to melt my case, but it sure looks nice.

When PCs are trying to catch-up to TV tech -you know someone is in trouble.
Many TVs have internet access built in with web apps. =It seems the TV is winning and the PC losing at this point. The other is the tablet pc = the TV you take with you.
