  | Except, wouldn't just using a nice large computer monitor be
  | even better for [ burning out brain cells by watching TV ]?

 where do you get “nice large‟ moniters?   I use a c.43cm at home
 and a c.30cm at work, and would love to have a larger one (esp.
 if I could see on it a readable A4-sized image with "adequate"
 screen area left over).  such monitors exist, the Blit I used
 to use had one, but it cost c.7000 USD!

 TV-wise, there's an issue that monitor pixels are square(-ish),
 whilst TV's (esp. NTSC?) are rectangular.  this can obviously be
 compensated for --- e.g., I do watch the odd DVD on my monitor
 at home (mplayer(1) is great!) without any apparent video/visual
 problems --- but its one of those niggles which, I am lead to
 understand, is Makes Things Difficult™.

cheers!
