So I got an Apple TV for Netflix and Crunchyroll for the bedroom. The issue is I don't have a tv for the bedroom. I am looking for something in the 27" range. Here in Australia it seems I can get a better brand monitor for a cheaper price than the TVs of the same size. Also the TVs are usually 720p at that size whereas the monitor will be 1080p. I have never used an IPS monitor but I hear they are nice. Can an IPS monitor substitute a TV for movies/videos?
Oh and also have a budget of around $300.

I have stated a few times I am NOT using my PC for this monitor lol. However I also have the option of running speakers from the audio port on the Apple TV box so I wasn't worried too much about built in speakers, was just curious about that. Thanks for the quick help, unknown.Understood, didn't see that. That choice of monitor won't let you down, enjoy!

Awesome, thanks. On that last one it has a "Headphone Out" input. Since this monitor has no speakers, I will likely need to get some external ones. Will that headphone out jack send audio out that comes in through the HDMI?
Was just browsing reviews on the LG site of that monitor and someone used it for the cable receiver and had speakers in the headphone jack... Guess that answers my question by first hand experience from someone else who has owned this lol.

Yeah I hear ya. I will be mostly connecting it to Apple TV. Any recommendations on brand? Or what to look for in the specs?
Here are a couple I was looking at in my budget range:

The monitors for bedrooms are far better, with an IPS decision on your hand it makes monitors the no brainer. Televisions aren't good to sit close to, and you need to give it distance to avoid eye damage. Compared to the sharpness and colour of the IPS display, that is far better then the ordinary 720p television. The reason why televisions are so expensive is they have their own in-built graphics adapters, which if you have a PC don't need. You will far enjoy the visual experience of a IPS Monitor compared to that of a Television.unknown, you are saying the IPS is a no-brainer even if I am not connecting it to a PC?
