"TellyVision" is connected to a Philips HDTV (720p) in my front room.
great for watching movies & the motogp (motogp.com), I would not want to sit
as close as I do with a monitor though, it tends to hurt your eyes as it is
much brighter than any monitor I've used.
I keep the resolution at 1024*768 and sit on the sofa rather than in front
of it.
A wireless keybaord and mouse helps.
I would say yes, as long as you plan on using it primarily as a "set top
box".
