Switching between PC and TV

[loss4words]

Hey guys,

So I just bought an LCD HDTV to use as both a computer monitor and as a TV. What would be the easiest way to switch between the two?

It should have several HDMI inputs plus its own internal tuner to chose from?

Thanks for replying. I'm sorry for being such a newbie about this...

When I get the TV I intend connecting the computer to it by using DVI to HDMI cable, and I'll connect the coaxial cable for tv viewing and I should be good to go...or am I getting something wrong?

That's exactly what I'm doing actually.

Only drawback to hooking up the TV directly to the cable, is that our cable company appears to have secured even the local HDTV stations, so I will need to get another HD cable box if I want HD on this set...(your local cable company though may have left some HD stations that your TV could pick up...)

(Or I could put up an antenna...)

Oh, I didn't know about this...

My question though is how do I switch from watching tv programming to my desktop?
