Default Anyone Using a TV as your monitor or dual monitors

Is anyone using a flat screen TV as their main monitor? Can you please comment on it? I am currently running a single 30" computer monitor setup. I've been wanting to grab a second 30" monitor as the video card can support two monitors. Then I started thinking.....with TV being so cheap why not get one large 40" tv screen. Please comment.

That figures I run a 37" Vizio on an HD rig. The thing to remember is; the most resolution you will get is 1920x1080, so there comes a point where stuff gets bigger ON the screen, but you don't get MORE info on the screen. What resolution does your 30" monitor handle? And how close is it to your face(farther away calls for a bigger screen). My 37" is a good 5 feet back9over a big desk with a C24 and monitor shelf).
