OOps, didn't read earlier parts of this thread to see Skit already posted my command center.

Granted, you'll spend as much on a 27" or 30" IPS monitor as you would on a 60" TV, but after using mine for a year plus change, it's hard to look at anything else.

120hz monitors are nice too, despite the loss in color quality, but they're stuck at 1920x1080. Once 120hz 2560x1440 screens become a reality, then I might grab one to pair with my IPS panel.
Bigger isn't necessarily better. 1920x1080 is really plenty fine for me, and it's a resolution that is a good compromise between performance and quality. Sure you can push it to ridiculous resolutions but it comes at a performance cost and IMO the benefit isn't there, especially with antialiasing making it indistinguishable. This TV is also 240 hz.
