I've been doing this for years.
My TV is a 30" Planar touchscreen monitor.
Plug it into the HDMI port on my laptop: Instant touch screen home theater system.
Plug it into my Galaxy S3: Instant giant Android tablet.
Plug it into my Roku: Instant Netflix box.
I predict that eventually televisions and monitors will merge into a single appliance because there's really no point in having a TV with its own internal logic components that will be outdated in a year.
Oh yes, Sony and other manufacturers are fighting the good fight. They LOVE to make people replace their televisions every year or to so they can watch TV in the newest format. But they will lose that battle.
