Does anyone use an LCD TV as a monitor ?

So far, I used my PC primarily for watching cable TV (via a TV Tuner), playing games, voice and video chat.

I surf the Net just for downloading music, movies, games, etc ocassionally checking my mails (who writes emails these days anywayz). A 15 inch monitor seemed pretty small (upgrading to 17 or 19 inch wouldn't really make sense considering I use my PC more like a media centre).

So, I decided to buy a Sony LCD (26 inch). http://www.sonyindia.co.in/sonyindia/products/DisplayProduct.jsp?modelNumber=KLV-S26A10

That way I wouldn't have to switch on my PC to watch cable TV. Moreover, playing games on a 26 inch display would be a thrill, not to mention watching DVDs on an LCD.

What do you guys think about using an LCD as a monitor ? Or would you prefer using a monitor as a PC?
