Q.
A. Get a 17" or 19" you will find you can pick up a descent 19" for about £100.
If your using it to view text files you dont want any smaller than a 17" because it can be awkward to read on otherwise.
Also should you want it for other things a 19" would come in very useful should you use for other purposes.

LCD monitor or tv for computer movie viewing?
Q. I am in the process of upgrading my year old computer. I do a lot of online work, so having a 2nd monitor is my top priority upgrade. I sit about 2 feet away from my computer.
Primarily, it will be used to watch tv shows and movies. My current monitor is 720 (I found out) but have to minimize the video playback so I can get as much work done without the video covering up parts of the screen. Secondary usage, though minor, would be a secondary details monitor that might be used to display a webpage I need certain information from, or an excel page I can quickly look at values. I have no problem making the text bigger or smaller for this usage, so I want something that will play movies and tv shows as best as I can.
As far as research I've been doing I'll want a 1080 monitor. By years ends I'll be wanting to buy blue ray player or something for my computer and start watching those discs for the best possible quality of the stuff I watch more than once. So, here are my options I'm thinking of:
24" 1080 monitor for under $200. Viewing a size to distance ratio chart, 24" appears to be the best size for my distance away from viewing movies at that resolution.
27" 1080 monitor for about $300. This is a "play" related monitor while working, so something nice and big would make the boring online work more enjoyable. And if by chance I decide just to have a movie viewing marathon while ignoring work, the bigger the better?
LCD tvs just appear to be cheaper. And if It's going to be used to watch movies like 95% of the time, seems like a good choice when I can adjust settings for when not used as a tv. So, if I can get the same size for cheaper, that would be good, but heck, I wouldn't mind saving up a few more weeks for something really nice.
So, is there any drawback for using an lcd tv instead of a monitor (assuming it has proper computer connections)?

A. as yet i have not found a TV that makes a good monitor
colour tints
as monitor are cheapish
get 2 x 24" monitors
1 can be 1920 x 1200 /16:10 display as this is better for web browsing
2 can be 1920 x 1080 /16:9 which is what most films are broadcast in
and if you have films on your hard-drive they can easily be put on the second monitor
a tv tuner will give you the tv is required
