A 1080p HDTV will offer much, much better picture quality if you decide to use it as a display for a PC using HDMI/DVI.

Or at least this is my experience with it. 1080i flickers or is blurry at full resolution while 1080p is as crystal clear as a monitor. Currently I have the equivalent of a 65" computer monitor in my living room. Stunning!

I have used two separate 1080i HDTVs to display three different computer outputs (mixed and matched) and none compare to my new 1080p.
