HDTV or PC Monitor?

[Krudy]

I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere before, but times have changed and so do circumstances.

So I'm thinking about getting a new monitor/TV and I need some advice. Currently I have a 19 inch CRT monitor on my computer desk and it's taking up way too much room. I don't have a television in my room either.

I want to kill two birds with one stone. I'm thinking about getting a 22-26 inch LCD TV and hooking my computer up to it by VGA cable. This will be my primary computer monitor, and I have to do work on my computer writing papers and working on Excel spreadsheets.

Samsung has this PC MONITOR available, which doubles as an HDTV, but I haven't seen any other PC Monitors comparable to it, and I'm uncomfortable buying the only one out on the market.

So instead, I want to buy an HDTV (i think) but they only seem to come in 720P resolution at that small of a television, which is a detriment to the screen resolutions a PC can output.

Is there anyone experienced with this that can chime in, or send me a PM?

Thanks
