Are there any cons when using a lcd tv as a dedicated computer monitor?

I can get a 32" inch lcd tv for 0 bucks. I’m thinking of just making this my dedicated computer monitor. I’m wondering if there will be any cons to doing this when comparing the lcd tv to a regular computer monitor.
Any advice or thoughts would help.

TV’s even a LCD tv may not have the resolution that a computer monition has.
Most 32" LCD tv’s are only 720p which only has a 1280 x 720 max resolution. A 1080P LCD TV will have a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
There are lots of 720p 32" tv’s out there and some start around $340 new. A 1080P model will start about 600.00 new.
So check your resolution and be sure it will work for you
Nope. I have one right now, it works exactly the same as a computer monitor.
The only con is maybe you don’t want a giant ass monitor
it works like a charm. one thing tho is that the resolutions are usually higher on an actual computer monitor VS the TV. this may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your application.
also watch your inputs and outputs a 1080p TV wont display that high resolution through a VGA connector. a single link DVI to HDMI is needed.
720p resolutions are more flexible that way.
ALSO while 1080i (or any resolution ending in an "i") is fine for movies it looks HORRIBLE for computer use…
