My Samsung 46" LCD does 1920X1080P just fine with my laptop hooked up to the back of it using a DVI connection. Perhaps your tv isn't what the marketing genius' now call "True HD". "True HD" televisions support 1920X1080P resolution over either DVI or HDMI. If you're using a VGA cable good luck - I've had nothing but bad experiencing trying to go above 1024X768 using a VGA connection.
For a living room, 1920X1080P works great for a PC screen resolution - but if you're talking about putting it on your desk, I agree that one is better off with a LCD monitor.
