Exclamation screen size ?

right so hers the deal i currently have a 22" standard definition sony for playing my xbox360 on right and that nice i like the size

but i also have a 17" hp1740 flat screen monitor just lying around and i don't know whether to sacrifice my screen size and go for HD ?

now for this im going to need to spend a little money on a VGA cable


so i was wondering what you guys think is the best plan

recap

22" SD Sony screen (that i can watch tv on)

17" HD HP screen (no tv) meaning i would have to move it out the way on my table to watch tv ?


what seems like the best option to you ?
