Depends on the size you're looking at Rogean, and what you want to spend. A monitor with speakers and an HDMI input is really no different then using a TV assuming it's going into a cable box. I've always considered Samsung a good baseline as they control everything from the design to the factory, while most companies only control the design. The high end Sony TVs are still always near the top of the list, but you tend to pay about a 5-10% premium. Sharp actually makes some really good TVs in their upper line and they are a Japanese based company which tend to have better engineering in general. I'd steer clear of Toshiba entirely, they have some good TVs but its really up and down with them.

I spent about 3-4 years doing product testing and development at the Best Buy corporate office and I worked a lot with TVs...quite frankly the "you get what you pay for" stuff applies here. I've seen what is done to lower price points on televisions and the first thing that goes are the premium level interlacing, color processing, etc.
