i dont think monitors are any bad compared to
television sets they have a better resolution.
well there are many 3rd tier lcd manufactures who give FHD lcds for the same price as first tier manufactures like
Sony,
samsung,
Panasonic... HD lcds.
now dont forget that most top lcd manfactures use the same panels as some third teir manufactures,but the picture quality in 1st tier companies are better b'cause these companies spend millions of dollar to make there tv apart like eg sony.
sony in 2004 was lagging behind in LCD,at that time theres lcds was clealy beaten by
sharp and samsung lcds,
but in 2005 sony started using samsung panel and they had to make their tv better then samsung that why they came up with
BRAVIA(Best Resolution Audio Video Integrated Architecture)this was tailor made for lcds ,since sony lcds before 2004 used WEGA engine a image processing developed for CRT tv and wasnt cutting the mastard , people expect a lot when they by a premium brand like sony who clearly dominated the performance departement in CRT.hence bravia was made.
so lcd tv are far better then lcd monitors despite the monitors having a resolution advantage.dont forget most of the lcd monitors are TN based including 24inch FHD.
