What are the Pros to using your LCD-TV as your PC Monitor?

Ok, along with the title, I have some more questions and confusions that I would like to understand here.

My PC LCD Monitor is a 20" Acer with a native res of 1680 x 1050 (but is equal to 720p correct?)

My TV is a 32" Panasonic 720P with native resolution 1280 x 720

My first impression of using my TV as a PC monitor was WOW my 20" LCD Monitor is wayyyyy sharper and clearer - Is this because the monitor I generally use (20" acer) was developed specifically for PC use? or is it because the resolution is lower? I couldn't understand why it really looks that worse just because the res is a bit smaller.

Another question, while testing out SC2 my PC Monitor only goes up to and recommends 1680x1050 resolution, but my LCD Panasonic TV recommends and lets me select 1920 x 1080. How can it let me select this if my LCD TV only supports 720p? And what resolution is it actually transmitting while 1920 x 1080 is selected?

And my last question, is it possible to get my LCD TV to be as sharp as my LCD PC Monitor? Or do I need to buy a 1080p LCD TV for it to look as equally sharp?

Thanks for any help :o

[QUOTE="nameless125"]The 20" is smaller, and a higher RES so it provides a sharper imagine. Example like a 24" 1080p screen will look sharper then a 32" 1080p screen.gravitygamer

And no normal LCD TV doesnt have better blacks than the above average PC monitors. Only plasma has better blacks and full aray dimming LED TV's which are very very expensive.
