    I am interested in buying a television and lately have seen much hype
for the new component televisions. They certainly look nice but I wonder
whether it is also possible to use such a television as a monitor for a
home computer without suffering from all the problems that plague the Apple II
when it is connected to a television. Is it possible with these new component
television sets to get high quality computer monitor type resolution as well
as being able to watch television. I recently saw an Atari commercial where
somebody is playing Missle Command on a Sony television. I want to be able to
obtain comparable or better graphics ability with the television connected to
a real computer. Any experience on this? Is it wishful thinking? Is it just
too expensive? Any responses will be appreciated. I will post a summary if I
get enough replies.
                                             Many thanks
