Using a Plasma as a monitor

[Duekay]

I have a Small Question can you Using a Plasma as a monitor, if you can what are the advantages and disadvantages of this.
Say my max resolution on my GPU is 2048 x 1536 or so and i wanted to get a 42" plasma, what would the quality be like and could i get things to a similar scale as using a 22" LCD with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 or would it be just scale everything up and have larger pixelation?

Any Ideas

plasma screens are heavier than LCD by around 15% (if i remember right)
also difference in quality and so on would really depend on the plasma your buying and the LCD your comparing it to.

can you please post full specs?

i thought 1080P was 1680 x 1050 (but unsure)... in that case it would just be a much bigger version of your 22"... i have a plasma TV that can do 720 P and i was actually wondering how it would work as a monitor, as well...

Keep burn-in in mind....

My boss did with a 1366x768 Plasma, wasn't bad. I never got to try any games on it though

I don't know how it'll turn out with a 1024x768 screen with wide-screen aspect (the TH-42PX70A).

True that... burn-in and the loads more power it uses... nothing like having the oblivion health bar permanently tattooed on the bottom of your plasma.
