Monitor question

Okay, so I have a TV that I'm currently using for a monitor, it's a 19 inch 16:10 (8:5) monitor at 1440x900, and I have an HP vs17e 17" 4:3 monitor at 1280x1024. The HP monitor has a fat better picture, but there is less space. Using this PC mainly for games, what would you guys recommend to use, the TV or HP Monitor? 

Unless you plan on gaming from across the room just use the monitor.

That's what I'd assumed, just wanted to get a second opinion, thanks.
