Vizio VL260M is a nice 26" IPS TV, two HDMI inputs, 1x component and 1x VGA. Works great as a monitor, very nice picture.

Available from Amazon or you might find a better deal here. Amazon had it on sale for 315 a month ago when I got it.
I was looking for a larger replacement for my 19" 1280x1024 monitor, but I wanted to keep similar DPI. 26" 1080p fit the bill, but it is very hard to find one that in not TN and that fits the budget. I hate TN because, even if you sit in right in front of it, top and bottom of the screen will...
This forum is a great resource for research into displays, so I was wondering if I can get some opinions on using a 1080p LCD TV as a primary monitor. The prices have gone down so much lately, a 32-inch 1080p TV can be had for $500-600 or less (e.g. costco.com).
I do not see a similar trend...
I noticed Costco selling a Vizio 32-inch 1080p TV. I think it was $579 and it was most certainly not a TN screen. It made me curious, but I did not bite because, well, I am not sure it could fit on my desk.
TN-panel TV makes no sense. All I can picture is you lean back to watch TV, and all the colors on top of the screen get inverted.
I also thought text is extremely poor quality on this panel very fuzzy.
Seems this monitor is finally available in USA from HP.com, at $650:

I would not be surprised if we do not see these until October-November.
At this point, Planar looks like a much better deal. I got a Planar 19-inch in 2001 and it still looks great. I remember paying $656 for it back then. Great viewing angles, sharp text, satisfactory gaming perfomance...
Same as you, got the specs. I also read into the included HDMI-to-DVI cable:

I actually like the fact that the new panel will come with crappy speakers, since it saves cable clutter, and I use headphones when I care about sound fidelity.
However, "end of July" has long gone. Anyone know when this monitor is actually getting released, and the ballpark price?

Looks good for what you need it for. The only thing that is stopping me is the input lag -- a bit better than 2408wfp but still bad.
I bought a T240HD last week and returned it the very next day -- it has some really bad viewing angles. Basically, no matter where you look from (even straight on), the screen is completely non-uniform, especially top-to-bottom. Compared to my 6-year old Planar CT1904ADU, it was a huge step down...
