Large pixel pitch, noticeable combing with 480i sources, resolution not high enough for computer use

Great TV for a progressive scan DVD player or video game console. 480i sources play with accurate timing (a noted issue with progressive scan TVs playing 480i games), but have a noticeable coming effect. The pixel pitch is also ratehr large, so there is a slight screen-door effect at close viewing distances. This combined with the fact that 480p is an obsolete computer resolution make this TV unsuitable for computer use. But it is a great, small EDTV.
It may not be noticeable with most video sources, but when playing 1st-person video games or anythng else that uses frequent camera shifts, it can be quite disorienting.
