I think that's pretty much a given
Most 1080p sets use fairly decent upscaling chips as they need to be able to upscale 480/576i formats all the way to 1080p without looking too horrific. Upscalers in premium TV's have come a long way in the last year or two.
2) If im using it as a main computer monitor, how are the specs of it for things such as gaming ?
It's impossible to tell from specs I'm afraid. As well as LCD's problems with motion blur (which are pretty much an individual thing) you'd also have to watch out for input lag, which varies greatly from set to set. Most modern TV companies accept that people will be gaming on them, and design them as such though. I'd be more worried about general PC use though, as it'll have quite a coarse dot pitch compared to a PC. You really couldn't sit the same distance from it as you would a PC monitor.
3) Will it support 60hz at 1920 x 1080? ( one website says 50hz but im not sure if its correct )
You'd be best to try and look up the user manual on the Toshiba UK site, or email them
There's a manual link on this page

4) Also my current dell is quite flexible with movement on its stand i can move it up and down twist and turn and tilt. How would this be with the toshiba since my cheap 720p screen is pretty much fixed in position.
It'll maybe swivel but I don't imagine it'll tilt or lift.
5) What would peoples recommendations be for my conversion? Any opinions are welcome!
I'm afraid I'm of the opinion you'd need a TV and a monitor, I don't think one set can do both jobs.
Good luck !
