I've got one computer specially dedicated for the living room TV. The TV is a largish flat screen something like 48" ??? Having the computer hooked to the TV is nice because it gives full access to all the media available on the web like youtube, netflix, hulu etc.
It works quite well and has for awhile now.
Point being: No real problems with using a big flat screen as a monitor so far.
The only issue could be image "burn in". ( I set the screen saver to kick in after five minutes of inactivity. )
Afterthought:
I'm not seeing very many computers coming in with a connector for an HDMI cable on the back. It's a whole lot easier when it only takes one cable to do everything. You might need an HDMI card for that job.
