A monitor with a higher resolution however can still keep the same pixel count for the UI, and still be readable even, to change that ratio of world to UI.

So, I prefer monitors, especially ones that push past standard TV resolution for the reasons above. Any reason why TVs are better?
Resolution is subjective. I mean FFXIV's opening movie (the pre rendered one) looks the same at 1280x720 as it does at 2560x1440. You can not tell what resolution the game is running as that video plays. And even during game play 2560x1440 doesn't look much better than 1280x720 (except on the IPS display 1280x720 looks a bit blocky for some reason). On the TV 1280x720 doesn't look blocky at all. The TV also is better at creating true black versus the monitor. The TV (which is an old Toshiba DLP) produces better color than the monitor (an Apple Cinema Display). It's all about color not resolution that produces the best picture.
