I've been doing the same things. I only use a 14.1" Kogi LCD flat panel in my bedroom in my parents house. I watch TV on it via my ATI PCI Rage 128. It's really an old card, but it works. I also use Windows ME and Showshifter from Home Media Networks and an ATI Wonder Remote Control to flip channels with. I am trying to cut all ties with anything Microsoft, so I am trying to move to Linux. To tell the truth, it's hard. It's like doing drugs or smoking or eating fast food. I know Microsoft junk isn't good for me, but it's hard to quit. I'm scared and confused. I like watching TV on my computer screen, but I don't know if I can do the same with Linux. Somebody help me! On a more serious note, I like saving space and being able to have a cool, crisp, uncluttered central information/entertainment/communications nexus all on one desktop. LCD makers know this is the future. That's why there are LCD Monitor/TV devices being made by many different companies. The increasing desire for convergence will only fuel this trend. I say more power to you! Your on the right "uber coolness" trek. I want to do the same but with Linux stuff only. Time will tell.
