Yes I had the opportunity to see my friends Laptop connected to his new 36" LCD flat panel and it was amazing! Text was completely crisp and legible and the screen could be used for anything you would do on a PC just fine. I was very impressed as I've always thought hooking up a PC to a TV was only good for watching media...but not browsing the web or anything that required lots of reading.
So I agree 1080p has it's uses even on a small screen such as this...but don't fool yourself if your wanting to just use this as a screen for watching Movies. I think everyone on the blogsphere has come to the conclusion that 1080p is perceptually no better than 720p on screens smaller than 55" or so when watching Movies, TV or Games.
