52" Sharp Aquos HDTV as a PC monitor



I'm considering the purchase of a 52" Sharp Aquos HDTV for the dual
purpose of PC monitor and HDTV. I need it to display Excell spread
sheets and for surfing the web. Is this feasible? Advisable? Is it
dependent on my PC? I've done some searches and am getting a little
discouraged that this is not the great idea I thought it was.

TIA for your consideration of my questions.
