It's not straightforward at all, depends on what you're using it for. The triple monitors will give you a wider field of view for driving simulations and more practical desktop space. The LED TV will give you a bigger screen for movies or more casual gaming.
Multiple monitors for me. I went from 3 down to just a large tv, and have been doing the large tv thing for a while now.
3 was so much better for me both for gaming and not gaming. Instead of having everything still cluttered together, being able to organize and switch between monitors with different Windows and programs running is worth it.
For gaming, being able to adjust and angle each monitor makes for a much more in depth experience whether racing, shooting, or exploring.
Edit to add: my 3 screens were a 27" LCD tv, 32"lcd tv and a 21"lcd monitor. A combination of multiple big screens would b great, and with 32"tv's below $200, not terribly expensive. Note to self, find room to run multiple monitors again.
Like he said it depends, I have on older TV I use, its a ~32" one, I can just about fit full sized plans at 50% on it and have them read able. Then a 21" for everything else.
Multi-monitor all the way!
Resolution is the key.
-A large 1080p TV has the same amount of Pixels as a 1080p 24" monitor, so it just looks like everything is bigger, but will appear pixely up close at computer monitor closeness.
-A 4k TV would have better resolution that it would probably look decent (not pixely) as a computer monitor, but then all your icons are small and I just don't think it will be very easy to use.
My recommendation is either 24 or 27 inch monitors.
If you go 24", 1080 looks great. My current setup at home is 2 24" Dell monitors.
If you go 27", you want 1440p. (Same reasoning of why not to use a large 1080p tv.) My current setup at work involves 2 27" 1440p monitors. :) Well, at the one site, I don't have as much space at the other site.
Plus in my opinion multi monitors are better for multi-tasking than a larger monitor.
