I don't have one, but I've seen games on them and the DLP technology enabled products are better. That projector that was linked was a DLP projector as well.
Admittedly when I was looking for an summer or co-op position when I was still a sophomore in EE back in 95 and I saw a demo of DLP tech that was still not yet ready to be in a product I was amazed by it and still am. The clarity, color, response, sharpness are all just better to my eye than anything else I've seen.
The problem is that right now they aren't in any of the smaller T.V.'s. So you are looking a projector if you want the tech for under $1k right now. :(
I also agree that you want widescreen if you get anything now.
But yes you can use a T.V. as your monitor if you get a good enough one. I had a co-worker who did. It was a $2000 HD TV at the time he got it, very equivalent to the stuff that you are looking at now for $700

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
