Flat screen t.v. or monitor

[Infinitive1]

Just finished watching a clip of unreal tournament 3 and the review of the gameplay was played on a pc on a samsung flat screen t.v. gametrailerscom/player/24281 Which is better to play on a flat screen monitor or flat screen television? Any help would be great thanx

Define "better"

TV = bigger picture, designed for use with consoles sitting >6 feet away

Monitor = higher resolution, designed for use at a desk

I quite like using my LCD TV as a monitor sometimes but its way too big to sit at a desk and use really.

The worst part is when you are just doing normal stuff like word documents and web stuff as everything is huge on the screen.
