TV as your monitor

I was thinking of getting a 22 inch widescreen TV/monitor that has component in so I can get a 360 and play it on there also.

My pc cabinet has an opening of 21 inches exactly so a 22 inch widescreen would just fit.

Now mind you I shop for about 9 months before I buy anything over $500. I just got an SLR after looking for prolly about a year.

So far the 1st thing I found was this

does this have good enough res that a 360 will look as good as it does when I see em at Best Buy on those displays?

1680x1050 is the max res, with a 5ms respnse time.

It has a DVI input (I still have to get a dvi graphics card but thats a diff story) for the PC and component in for the 360.
