Ok. Well, I've got it narrowed down to either a 23 inch Dell or Apple display. Any suggestions on which one to go with?
I didnt mean to go off the subject, i was just pointing out the positive of having an LCD TV that looks as good as any of the smaller monitors and my TV costed half the price plus it has a built in tv reciver and Composite connections as well as surround sound external jacks.
here is probably one of the best Walk In Deals you can get for an Apple Monitor
. Apply computers are using the DVI inputs.
its 1400 bucks. Thats pretty cheap compared to the 5000 they costed a few years ago.
Now here is a 37 inch LCD TV with DVI input by Syntex.
this TV is 100 dollars cheaper then your apple and its nearly twice as large. and the TV output is 1366 but comes with a software driver cd so your computer resolution should actually be higher.
here is a samsung 32 inch that i've seen at Frys
its still 10 inches larger then the apple monitor and probably has 5 times the quality of a picture. it is a 1366 resolution but I believe the monitor drivers for your DVI input are actually higher when you use it as a computer monitor.
dont bother purchasing a monitor thats only designed for computers if you can get one that will be nearly as large as your field of view. trust me, it makes a big difference when working with graphic software or even playing an online video game.

As I was on outpost.com I came across my monitor/TV
I payed almost 1200 for it December of last year. Today it cost 699 bucks. Again, not a great TV (But i have analog Direct TV) but for a computer monitor, it's really decent. if you dont feel like forking out alot of money, this computer monitor is a good deal. Plus, Im using VGA since my computer doesnt support the newer DVI. Assuming you have an apple with DVI, you may want to get this, it might make a world of difference with DVI output (Or so Im told)
