ok everyone... im in the market for a new monitor... the one i am considering is the samsung 213t...

from what ive heard its really nice... 1600x1200 resolution... usually priced between $650 and $800....
but today, it occured to me that i could buy an LCD tv with PC input to serve as my monitor... i dont have an exact model to show you, but the ones i am looking at are 26-27 inches in diameter.... however, the drawbacks are... 1) they usually run about $800 to $1000... and the resolution is only 1280x768....
so i guess what i am asking is... have you or anyone you've heard of tried to use a tv as your computer monitor? any reactions? positive? negative? and also, would you buy a monitor 21.3" in diameter with a resolution of 1600x800? or a 27" monitor with a resolution of 1200x768?
thanks in advance...
