Which is better for, LCD tv, or LCD monitor for my computer?
I want something with 1080p. I read that the 1920 X 1200 on the monitor is 1080p.
Here are some I was looking at.

Granted only a couple are similar, the 37 in is the largest I would go.
Now, here are the things I do:
Depending on the month, or season, I do different things. For example: In the winter I watch shows, specifically anime, some movies, and play more games. The summer I do more internet browsing and research, some anime, some movie, little amount of games. It just depends.
I rarely watch TV, so it doesn't really matter to me if theres a TV tuner or not. But, I may buy a PS3, so a TV would be better for it. Though, I wouldn't play it more then a couple hours a week if Im lucky, just because I do it when theres nothing else to do.
So, the biggest thing I do is watch Anime and Movies, then internet surfing, then play games, then watch TV. I need something that will be sharp for reading text.
Also, in general, the screen is on all day when I am home, even if im not on it. At night I shut the screen off, and when I go to work. So, during the week, it may be on for 4-6 hrs or so, on the weekends, its on 10-18 hrs, depending on when I get up.
If I had to worry about something getting burned in, like if I left a predominately white screen on, I don't want it to burn in a picture of whats on the screen. I beleive Plasma TV's do that, but, I don't really know much about TV's, just Monitors as a rule. So, not sure if LCD Tvs do that.
So which one of those is best for what I do, or will do?
I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit, an 8800 gt 512mb graphics card, so no worries about that.

I think 26″ monitor is your best choice. Because you want to read text clearly , Big TV will have small text and will be difficult to read.
Monitor, always a monitor. They are set up better to handle the needs of a PC. i have a 42″ HD TV that i have as my second desktop (so i can watch video files on my TV – i also use it as a normal TV), and a 19″ monitor for my first desktop (i can move items and programs between the two) my monitor resolution goes up to 1600×1200 but the maximum i can put on my TV is 1024×768, after that it goes grey and says ‘no pc input’ on the TV screen.
p.s. any screen will leave a image burned into it if left alone for long enough. This is why there are things called screensavers, if you put one of these on even if its something simple like the Windows logo flying across the screen it will be refreshed from time to time and prevent any image being left on the screen, or you could just do what i do and turn the screen off every time i leave my desk.
