2nd monitor: LCD TV vs. Monitor

Hey everyone... I just have a quick opinion seeking question. I know I can do this either way, but I wanted to see what other people thought.

My question is this: For my second monitor I want to be able to double it as a tv, so I can watch tv from time to time and then on the other monitor do whatever I'm working on. Should I get an lcd tv that has a DVI input, that way it can double as a 2nd monitor, or should I just get a second regular monitor and a tv tuner card?

Like I said, either way would work, and obviously depending on the tuner and graphics card would affect the quality. I want to see what people think.
 
I have a 25.5" Samsung tv as my main monitor and it looks great. If you are gonna watch tv from time to time, definitely look into an lcd tv. You'll get a better picture
