the current 1080p TV is not remotely close to what 30 inch monitor can offer. You can simplly tell by looking at the price. 32 inch TV is only like 500 bucks where 30 inch monitor is 1k+. The bigger the TV, the worst it looks. and it is not just the resolution. Contrast and Color. The monitor is just much better.

I tried 2011 current gen 32inch 1080p 240 hz LED TV. and it doesn't look that good. It is acceptable, but not great. Another thing is if you put the TV in front of you (like how you look at the monitor), your eyes will tire out much faster than looking at a monitor. Its not designed to be viewed closed up.
