or

should i just buy a 23 in lcd monitor?

Stick with the monitor. Televisions are fine for occasional browsing, but they're not really suited for daily use as your primary computer monitor.

Why not?
I use a Vizio and I'm perfectly fine with it.

If you're fine with it, more power to you.

Yeah, but I would like to know why you said their not that good as a main screen, the more I learn, the better.

I was going to get 2 22" inch lcd tv's, but i heard they arent that good for computer usage everyday. So i picked up 2 acer 19" screens $100 each. Totally worth it.

Because they're meant to be televisions? Most televisions are meant to be viewed from a distance. You don't want to be straining your neck to view a simple desktop.

I have a 50" plasma hooked up to my media PC, but it really isn't great as a monitor.
Go for the monitor if you can. TV's have much larger gaps between the pixels, generally lower resolution, and the colors are a bit different.
