Regardless of advertised resolution... TV's are not built to be viewed as close as monitors are. They are not simply monitors with a tuner. Don't believe me and want to argue? Fine... go to your bargain warehouse (Sam's / Costco). Walk up to that huge 70+ inch TV they usually have out there for display. Stand within 4 feet and you will notice the giant pixel size. Sure this is an extreme example but it demonstrates my point. TV's are meant to be viewed from across the room. <drops mic>
