Which is the best gaming option for both playing pc and an xbox 360.

The hdtv is 42 inch plasma panasonic 42g10 with a seating distance of 3 meters

and the monitor is aDell UtraSharp U2711 with a seating distance of 1 meter.

Get the monitor if you're going to be using your PC. My HDTV is for movies/TV and consoles, not for my PC. Your call though.

Monitors blow TVs out of the water when it comes to computers. So if you think you're going to be spending most of your time on it I say go for it.

You sit 1 meter from you PC screen? How big of a desk do you have? I'm maybe half a meter from mine, tops.

seems like a monitor that is too big. i have a 21 inch and it's about as big as i'd like. going to 27 i would probably have to move my head or at least my eyes a lot to see everything.

If you don't have an HDTV, get that first. Simple as that.

22 inch 120 Hertz Monitor is the best imo
