In the UK the TV resolution (PAL) is 768x576. This is ok for arcady consoly games. but for Quake 3(TA) or UT, I prefer sitting close to a High resolution (1024x768) screen, the distant objects are better visible. And newer apereture grille based monitors can match the vividity of TV screens while retaining the sharpness of the picture.
