The PC is an old computer, AMD Athlon 1800, with 756MB RAM. It has an old ATI HDTV Wonder card, which isn't all that great, but it's what I have. It has a nVidia based graphics card, FX450? If that sounds right. I got it for the DVI output, which worked great on my old LCD monitor. Now it is running through a HDMI connector to the TV. The computer barely meets the minimum specifications to run the HD decompression with the HD card. 1080i signals put it to it's max... (never actually seen 1080p broadcast). So if anyone is interested in it themselves, go for a newer processor.
The built in tuner for the TV is far superior to the computer card, so I only go through the PC when I want to record something.
As for the interesting part, yes, it means I get a computer at 1920x1080 resolution in the living room at 40" big. Text is hard to read from the couch, but pictures look gorgeous. Hitting things like youtube and homestarrunner look great, although my computer can't handle some video at full resolution. I'll upgrade that PC here sometime, but I just spent all my money on a TV...
