Although the lines between a computer display and a TV is narrowing it is still there. Generally computer displays don't have tuners built in. And have standard resolutions such as those explained in this article. http://www.gen-x-pc.com/lcd3.htm
TV's will have resolutions of 640x480, 1024x720 or 1920x1080. The only common resoution between the two is 640x480 which computer monitors are no longer sold at this resolution. There are some exceptions with Plasmas. But Plasmas are not sold as computer displays. Dell has a few hybrids but they still lean to one side or the other. TVs have a much lower PPI than computer displays.
