Default Want to try this HDTV out but..

Hello.. I'm looking to try out a HDTV as a monitor/TV

Looking at this one..
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=5006894

Unfortunatly this is the only 1080p tv that walmart has.. and I feel safe buying from walmart (return policy)

What I'm wondering is if this can act as a computer monitor.. can it do the 16:10 or 1900x1200 or as it says can it only do 16:9 also..

I don't know what this feature is called.. but I'm currently trying out a cheaper 26" LCD (no brand like the walmart) and it has a button that called "View mode" which while using as a monitor at 1024x768 doesn't abnoramally stretch it making it look distorted.. this is a 26" 16:9 TV.. but it brings it down to 21" I assume the proper viewing angle..

So if I was also going to use this TV I'd like that feature whatever it's called to be available.. (stretch gets annoying)

I know the geeks rant and rave about the..
Westinghouse LVM-37w1

as well.. but I still have the same questions about it.. can it do 16:10 1900x1200 and can it if doing lower resolutions like 640x480, 1024x768 not distort with a stretching feature..
