I'm thinking of getting a 23" monitor.  They are all *very* expensive, 
from what I can see from the net, though obviously Apple / Sony are the 
standouts in this direction with their extra quality. 
 
However, if all I really want it for is a bigger display (I work from 
home and it would make it easier) would it not be much more economical 
to buy a 23" or even a 26" TV which can also be used as a PC monitor? 
For instance, I've read a good review of a Samsung 26" HD ready (as a 
bonus) TV with a PC input, and it's £300 cheaper than an Apple 23" 
monitor. 
 
So, what am I missing here?   I could get a 26" monitor which doubles as 
an HD ready integrated digital TV for about £650 or a 23" monitor which 
doesn't double as a TV for £950.  
 
Is it that the monitor has a better screen res?  If so, that doesn't 
worry me. I'm looking more for processing data than creating web-sites, 
watching DVDs and editing photos. 
 
Or is it something else? 
 
Clue me in, please, Santa!!
