You might not like my answer, but I don't think a TV is a great choice for computer monitors. The maximum resolution of any TV is 1920 x 1080 and some as low as 1280 x 720, while high quality 28 and 30 LCD monitors can go as high as 2560 x 1600. They will run about the same price at that size: ~$1K. Unless your screen will be 6' in front of you, the only thing you'll end up accomplishing with a screen that size is moving your head from left-to-right more often. I talked a buddy of mine out of this same decision and he's happy I did. He bought a 24 Samsung monitor (1920 x 1200) for $350 and loves it. You might even want to consider dual-screening 2 x 22 or 2 x 24 for a MUCH bigger workspace (but more head movement :-) ) Of course if you can also use your TV for more standard purposes, you might want to just get the TV.
