The blurry line between monitor and TV these days also means that companies like NEC who has a line of TV-Ready monitors, or Monitor-Ready TVs which don't cost much more than the avg. TV, course your paying for the branding too.

On a different note:
Remember back when all you wanted was to be able to game @800x600 and your 3dfx card was the pimpest thing going cause it could knock that outta the park even though you only had a processor w/ a single core crawling along @666 MHz?
Considering the number of pixels in just about any modern display is fixed, I repeat, show these to me. Pushing more pixels to a display that it can't physically display isn't helping you.

Then you get down to TVs not having IPS panels since the price would skyrocket. Among other differences.

Another misconception i've seen here is people saying they use LED monitors. I know the manufacturer loves to slap that label on there, but they're not LED monitors, they're LCD. A true LED monitor would cost many many times more.
