I read about someone's problem and I had a similar problem so I chimed

actually helped the original poster? At least I assured him that he
wasn't nuts.

You told him about an experience with a crt tv set. That was as if he
asked about input levels on a digital system and you replied with
advice about the noise floor of a tape machine!

Besides, why would anyone expect to hook a computer up to a TV set? I
guess it's nice that it works sometimes, with some computeres, and some
TV sets, for certain displays, but it isn't as simple as buying a
computer monitor and plugging it in.

As he is discovering. But it was a valid question. Today's
flat-screen tv's and large computer monitors are converging. Tv's now
typically have a SVGA input, sometimes also a digital video input.
It's reasonable to assume they might be good for something!
