I've decided I'd like to upgrade monitors to something bigger. I'm currently using a 25.5" Asus monitor at 1920x1200 and find it a little too small sometimes. I do a lot of multi page web browsing, Photoshop and gaming. I was considering the Dell U3011 or HP ZR30W but these are priced more than I'd like to pay, plus I don't think my single GTX 570 could handle the 2650x1600 resolution for some games.
I'm confused why (as far as I know) there are no 1080p monitors in the 30" range, it seems the closest I can get is a 32" TV. I thought I might as well go for a 120Hz one since this option is still drastically cheaper than the U3011 or ZR30W options.
I'm wondering, is there a downside to using a TV as my main monitor? Is there a reason why there are no 30"-32" monitors, let alone one that is 120Hz. Will I be able to play games PC games at 120Hz with a TV? Is input lag and/or ghosting worse on a TV than a monitor?
These are a few models I was looking at, I would love more suggestions as well. Or if anyone knows of a 32" 1080p monitor, I could not care less about the TV tuner.

Edit: For some reason I was forced to specify a sub category and there is no such category for monitors, so I chose video cards.
