Do many, or any, LCD tv's have DVI inputs in addition to VGA inputs? And if so (i'm going to be searching around myself), are there any particular LCD tv's that would be worthwhile doubling as a gaming monitor? Just got asked these questions by a friend whose wife is getting a big bonus and has given him 'permission' to start searching for an HDTV. He's looking at LCDs, in the 36" range, and wants to see whats out there that could possibly double as a gaming monitor.

Is this what you are referring to and do I still need another one?
Why 2 cards?
