Not at all, in fact that is what we use at the moment. The problem is
that the screen is far too small to provide any audience participation
when the computer is on display (pardon the pun).
Although this is not a good option for purists, it may be suitable for
for sizable audiences. You might try using a software oscilloscope, one
that takes its inputs from a soundcard. I'd imagine that one could use
a stereo capable soundcard to provide X/Y inputs. Then, given a large
monitor or a video projector, you could have a more adequately sized
display.
There seem to be a couple packages available for Windows and here's one
for Linux:
