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

length * width = area correct? so there are 1680 pixels along the length of your monitor (the top/bottom i presume) and 1050 along the width (each side) so 1680*1050=1,764,000 pixels crammed into a 20" inch screen while ur monitor (i'm assuming its 720p native, if the 1080p resolution looks distorted when you set that then revert back to 720p) while ur monitor is 32" and 720p which is 1280*720=921,600 pixels in a 32" monitor..... so naturally the pixel density is much higher on the monitor and therefore it looks much nicer i've heard many say that 1080p on a 32" monitor is pointless (when it comes to MOVIE viewing) and that you can't tell the difference when its 720p or 1080p...when it comes to moviews and you want 1080p you should get something above 40 inches...but yea when it comes to using ur tv as a monitor you should have it at 1080p, otherwise you just don't get that much screen real estate
