Red face Blu-Ray questions [newb alert]

Recently (with the unofficial "end" of the format wars) I've really become interested in High Definition. I viewed some quality comparisons of DVD vs HD (pictures HERE) and it looks amazing. Plus I imagine the sound difference is quite substantial as well.

So anyways, I have a few questions:

1)Do I need a special TV to view HD content? I have a 6 year old Sony 32" Tube TV. Do I need one of those HD TV's?

2) PC Monitors offer much better quality than TV screens...right? I have a 19" Dell Flatpanel (not glossy). Really sharp images....TV images are always "pixely" sort of. They aren't nearly as sharp. So, any monitor would display blu-ray correctly...or do you need a special HD monitor or something?

3) Do I need a special/high-end video card to enjoy blu-ray? I have a MacBook with an Intel Integrated X3100. Would this affect the quality of HD movies?

Any help is much appreciated!
