The benfit of the monitor = higher resolutions.
The benitit of the HDTV = more input device options. The only one that really matters is the tuner since PCs can play CD/DVD/bluray.

I'd say if you are going to doing mostly PC stuff, go with the monitor. If TV watching is most important, go with HDTV. As the above post says, you cant have it both ways unless you get a display for each purpose.
