I have a 27" monitor that I've been using as a 2nd TV in the summer time. I live in a house that's been turned into upper/lower apartments, and when it's warm enough, I put the monitor up in the attic to get some separation from my downstairs neighbor. I have a Chromebox and just copy files across my home network from another computer.
I was considering upsizing to 32. Looking at monitors, I figured newegg would have competitive prices, and the lowest I can find with decent reviews is a little over $200.
Target has a bunch of 32" TVs well under $200. Most of the lower prices are on 720P models. Of course 1080P would be nicer, but how much difference would I notice sitting about 8 feet from the TV? What other features are worth considering paying for in a TV that size? The only thing I know I want is at least 2 HDMI ports; I'm guessing that's pretty much standard these days. I suppose a USB port might come in handy. One thing that drives me nuts is dealing with annoying tech issues late at night when all I want to do is watch a movie which I already have in MP4 or similar format.
