I have used my TVs on occasion as a monitor and worked fine.  On the
other hand, my monitor is connected to a Rogers box for watching TV.  As
for close viewing, that would depend entirely on the TV.  Some are
better than others.  For example, my new Sharp TV seems to have a
Sharper (sorry <g>) image than the old Sharp TV.
