28" Monitor for $330 from newegg... I'm lookin for a nice dual screen setup on my desktop and this monitor is large enough so I can just buy a tv-tuner and have it as my main desktop tv also... Good deal ? Is it possible to just buy a normal LCD HDTV and have it as a second monitor, or is it better to use a computer monitor as opposed to a television? I'm thinking they should be the same thing... one just has a little more inputs and you don't have to buy a tv tuner?

The closest thing I could find was this 32" 720p lcd HDTV
