Would this serve as a good PC gaming monitor? It is available at Costco. It looks like a decent HDTV but I also want it for gaming on the PC. Thank you for your time.

Good to know. I hope someone who knows their stuff will answer my question.
 
It will probably be fine but if you ask me the resolution is a tad low, you'd have to be sitting pretty far away i think in order to warrent using it as a monitor. If you're sitting closer to regular monitor distance you'll want something with 1920x1080 resolution or something along those lines.

Personally i'd never use an LCD TV as a PC monitor unless it had 1920x1080 resolution, 1280 x 720 is just to low for me.

Ah i just noticed you said for gaming... Then yes it would probably be a decent gaming monitor, I am not sure what kind of response times one can expect from an LCD TV, but i doubt it will be much of a problem these days.
