Does anyone have a dual monitor setup they'd like to share, whether for work or personal use?

i'm entering my final year of arch school, and my mac just can't cut it anymore. Everything i do is VERY performance and graphics dependence, and i want to look at a beautiful display while working.

i'm going to with an Asus G53SX laptop (15.6") or the G75 (17.3" screen) (gaming laptops/computers are built for graphics intense programs, and it'll be a beast at having photoshop, autocad, and sketchup/rhino/revit open at once, but i definitely am going to need another monitor, because i multi-task between between so many programs at once.

for the computer geeks, should i go with a "computer monitor", or an HD tv? i want something in the 20"-30" range, but looking at some prices, it looks like it might be better to go with a good HD TV or a computer monitor.

thoughts? opinions? i'd love to hear it all.

Cheers,
Stricklin
