Is it a good idea to use a computer monitor as a TV or vice versa?

I have a very nice computer that I use to record TV shows, do some video editing, etc. I need a new TV and was in the market for one when this thought struck me: should I just buy a 30 inch or larger monitor and use THAT as my TV or should I invest in a nice TV and use THAT as my monitor? What would be the pros and cons of both ideas? Has anyone else done this? What was your experience?
