So, the thing is, the 24" seems like about the right size for its current application, it's just a little not-so-great to look at and the colors get very washed out from anything but the perfect angle. A really good 24" would fill the bill =I theenk=, but a really good 27" would fill the bill for sure. A 30" would simply be overkill.
Once you jump from 24" (1920x1200) the only real option is 30" (2560x1600). Before I purchased my 3008wfp, I tried a 25.5" 1920x1200 monitor and I hated it. Too big for the resolution IMO.

I don't see why as long as the TV has at least a 60 Hz refresh rate and a 1080p resolution. One thing you need to be careful of is the input. My mac mini sees ANY direct hdmi connection as a TV and the computer treats it as such with overscan and it looks terrible. I only use the second monitor to watch movies and for that it is fine, but no way I would use an HDMI connection for my main monitor.
