Sceptre 32" HDCP LCD?

This 32" LCD is on sale at costco.com for only $599.

Sceptre 32" LCD at Costco

Here's a few of the specs:
Screen Size: 31.51" viewable wide color LCD TV
Resolution 1366 x 768
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Wide Screen
Brightness: 500 cd/m2
Contrast ratio: 1200:1
Response Time: 8 ms

Inputs:
ATSC/NTSC/Clear QAM Input
Component Input X 2
S-Video 4-pin DIN & Audio (R/L) input X 2
Composite Input X 2
Composite Out X 1
VGA (15pin), HDMI (HDCP)
SPDIF Out


So my question is:
Would this work as a monitor? For $599 it would be sweet if it did work.

I'm looking at this set to go above my fireplace (unused) in my apartment living room. Any feedback on this would be great.

Is 32" an ok budget size for HDTV/360/wii ?

thanks,
