In my opinion, go and get lcd tv (at least 32" if you can). I have friends with 24" samsung monitor, 26" (sony) lcd tv and 32" lcd tv (lg) and sad to say that the 32" pawned both of them greatly when playing bluerays to the point that i think it's not worth it to buy either 24" or 26". Its better to just save up some more. That's only my opinion though.
