A display is a display so if the specs are the same you ALMOST can write that HDTV and PC displays have finally become equivalent. So stop fretting over losing the PC display get that HDTV hooked up as the sole display.
And if you ask VGA or HDMI my answer is to try both.

Wanted to use a desktop as brains of media center.
Is that possible?
1) Want to use LCD as primary display when using computer
2) Want to use Computer as DVD/Blueray player
3) Can I then run sound cables out to speakers for surround sound? or to an amp for sound?
I talked briefly with Dell service online help and they said that I could do all that including wireless keyboard and mouse...
But my biggest concern is how much quality, if any i risk losing by not using dedicated computer screen as computer display and vice versa how much video quality i could lose, if any by not using a dedicated dvd/blue ray player
thanks in advance!!!!
