Black Friday Deal, Monitor or TV

Since HDTV's seem to have great deals, would that make a good temporary monitor for a mac mini until the new TD comes out?

Or am I better off getting a $100 LED monitor to hold me over?

I could see repurposing the TV a lot easier than the monitor.

Thats kind of what I thought because I remember text being blury on monitors before. But my brother was saying that it was the way to go.

I'll stick with a doorbuster monitor then. Thanks
