Perhaps in the past, LCD would generally be more suited as a computer monitor, probably because of Plasma "burn-in" factor and I would think that plasma is overall more "fuzzy" when hooked up. Does anyone make this work? And well, work.. great to what some would think?

Definitly looking forward to a good debate :).

I've got a computer hooked up to my Plasma, but don't use it often. I've got it connected via DVI to HDMI adapter, and it produces a very good, clear image on the screen, not fuzzy at all. The only problem I've experienced is output resolutions not exactly matching screen resolutions at settings that I know the TV should be able to support - for example, some overscan and underscan problems. And even though the Panny has it's "rotating pixel/Anti-burn in" feature or whatever, I generally do not like to test said features parameters and will not leave a static computer display on the screen for too long a period. I've only turned it on to watch the occasional internet movie or video, and go full screen, and set the TV to to eliminate the static borders.

I use my Panasonic 1080p plasma as a PC monitor quite often and it works great. The picture is razor sharp and there is no hint of burn-in or image retention.
