Default Monitor

i have been lookin into monitors for my computer, and i found this:

Buy Hitachi 32LD6600 32in HD Ready LCD TV. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

it is quite cheap (just in my budget), and it has PC input... does this mean that i can plug it into my computer, so it can be my computer screen, but also my television?

It will be wall mounted, and it says it has PiP (a small image of a channel in the corner of the screen, with a big image of another channel in the main of the screen).

anyway, i have 2 questions...

1) can i plug my PC in to use it as a monitor?

2) if so, can i have the computer image in the small screen from PiP, and the main image showing a television program (and vise-versa)

thanks, and if any more info is needed, just ask....

1) Yes
2) You will probably need to check the specifications out on-line before you purchase to see if it will show both tv and you computer at the same time.
My 3) Why would you need to do both at the same time?

yea, i know, (3), i thought it would be quite cool, just to show it off to my friends...

thanks very much, one last question, if i have my PC (pretty damn good, can play all of my games on full) used on the screen, is the resolution likely to be satisfactory, or would they be s***? i will be about 2-3 meters away from it at all times mind you...

thanks
