correct me if im wrong, but isnt HD TV just TV at 1280x1024 res? so would a large tft monitor work just as well? (and be cheaper)

1920x1080.

How would you connect it to the PC though? DVI? VGA? S-Video? Composite?

Only certain connections can support the higher bandwidth needed for the highest screen res in HD TV. We had a problem with an HDTV satellite receiver in that our 23" LCD would only display it in the lower screen res when connected - this may have been a limitation of our TV though, which wasn't HDTV.
