REQ; recommendation on using a HDTV as a PC monitor

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv,microsoft.public.windows.mediacenter (More info?)

I am looking to spend less than $1500 on a 30" (or larger size) wide screen
HDTV (tube, LCD, etc.) that I can use as a computer monitor capable of
displaying at least 1024x768 and clear enough to be able to read text (font
12 size).

Please recommend the model # that you are using for this purpose and any
comments.

Thanks,
