32" LED as Monitor?

[Anomaly1964]

I have been doing some reading and it sounds like people are having success with this TV as a monitor both for gaming and web browsing ( re: readable text)...

Anyone here using this TV?

Would my single GTX570 OC be ok since the max resolution in 1920x1080?

I have this TV and have used it to run BC2 when i was monitorless and it's quite nice.

Of course the GTX 570 will be fine. Since currently you are running at 1920x1200 you will actually be lowering your resolution by going to 1080p, so if anything games will run better (if only slightly). My only problem with using a TV as a monitor is they are not designed to be viewed closely like a "real" monitor so you may need to place the screen further away in order for the pixel density to look right.

How did the text look when web browsing, that was my drawback when I tried a 40" plasma...?

It wasn't bad at all. It wasn't as crisp as my Asus 23" 120hz i run now but it was still pretty sweet.

I have a None LED LG 1080p and also use my 40" Samsung as HTPC and gaming from time to time.

In general TVs do a good job, but don't expect color reproduction, crispness, quality of a monitor. They are in a different ballpark.
