What is the difference between a HD plasma TV and a HD plasma monitor?

Technically there is no real difference…

In general its all about what connections you have available for video input, and sometimes video output.

Originally, the monitor was simply a TV with special cables to link to a computer.

Today – you can use them interchangeably. I suspect that the TV lacks the standard 15 pin input from a computer video out.

A Plasma monitor on the other hand would be able to connect to the standard video out on notebook and desktop computers.

If you have a computer with S-VHS out, or the RCA triple out (red, white, yellow) the Plasma TV and Monitor are essentially identical.

I have a ten year old Sony TV, connected to a 2 year old Sony A/V notebook and all works well – I can play games on my TV, or DVD's, or audio CD's…

So technically, my TV is a monitor…

Anyway – if you're looking into it, check the video outs and ins of the stuff you've got, and make sure they match the TV or monitor you purchase.
