Screen for PC? monitor or tv

Well if you plan to play games from a few feet away (through wireless peripherals of course), an LCD TV sounds nice. You might have to sacrifice resolution though, as TVs don't have the same max resolution as those high-end monitors. If that's the case, I don't think it ultimately matters, since you'll be too far to appreciate really detailed images anyway, IMHO.

As what monitors? the only resolution i can think of is that bs at 25xx/16xx....and that is a waste

I've always wondered about this. I mean, a 24" monitor uses more pixels than 1080p but like leon says, even 70" HDTVs use 1080p. Won't this result in poor image quality? Forget about gaming. Take the desktop, reading text. Won't they suffer a loss? Wonder when Quad HD will show up? 2160p - wow!

I mean, didn't some university research that you can't read for long periods on a screen due to the lack of smoothness in letters? That you could read for longer duration with less stress if you anti-aliase text? What I'm asking is with 1080p on 70", wouldn't reading be too stressful to the eye?

I've been using a 37 inch LCD 1080P TV as a monitor for about 3 years now. It's great and I would not use anything smaller now. There's still a screen door effect at 2.5 feet or so viewing, but it's not bad at all. I would think an LCD screen larger may require higher resolution to avoid this effect becoming noticable.
