I'm looking for a kick_ss solution for my gun room. I'd like to watch TV-Netflix, plug in USB drive for photos, use as monitor for laptop. At least 20" but no more than 32"
Got any recommendations?

32" tvs are 1080p, which means the dot pitch is crap. 27" is the most I'd ever consider using as a monitor at 1920x1080. If you're sitting a few feet away watching videos it's not going to be an issue. If you're sitting closer to it trying to use it for text like reading this forum, it's going to be horrible.
Just about any monitor these days(well, most of them anyway) will have HDMI support so you can connect a video source like a tivo or home theater receiver, they're just not going to have a tuner(and the built in speakers are going to be terrible, but the built in ones on tv's aren't much better). -

I got a small vizio that I run side by side with a dell monitor, works great. I use it to watch netflix all the time while scanning the calguns boards - like right now.Comment

I bought a refurb Dell 27" flat panel a couple of months ago, cost me $500. You can get a much larger TV for that price. What's more important to you, super crisp resolution, or larger screen size? Monitor for the former, TV for the latter.
If you go the TV route I second Vizio. They're based in Irvine and since are a smaller company they put in a lot of new features faster than the big guys like Sony and Samsung.Comment

I have a $99 frys special 19" tv that I am using as a monitor right now. there are areas of the screen where the text is rather fuzzyComment

Strictly a quality monitor. Reproduction of clarity in text and photos is very important to me. Good monitors are not cheap, but worth it. Now if I wanted to watch a lot of movies off a laptop/workstation, than I would have an additional HDTV connected and use it for the movies and such."Just leave me alone, I know what to do." - Kimi Raikkonen
