Currently I use a 32" Sharp Aquos 1080p HDTV as my computer's monitor. I've had this for about a year and it's been great and lately I've been thinking of upgrading to a bigger screen. I have two in mind but I'm not really sure what to go with, and I'd like to decide and order soon.
There's a 40" 1080p 60hz from Sceptre for $500,

There's also a 46" 1080p 120hz from Sceptre for $700,

I took out a measuring tape to see exactly what the view would look like while sitting in my computer chair, it seems like either will be nice. I'm pretty sure anything over the 46" would be too much. I'd be at the point where I literally have to turn my head to look at different parts of the screen.
I have a friend wanting to buy the screen I'm using now for $300, which is about the price I could sell it for according to the auctions on ebay. So upgrading to a 40" would essentially cost $200, upgrading to the 46" 120hz would be $400.
I do a lot of computer gaming, and to be honest I don't really know the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz. nVidia has some product for $200 that comes with 3D glasses and turns games into 3D which seems interesting, that requires a 120Hz screen. Though I'm using a 4870X2 from ATI right now so that's not a possibility anyway. Any thoughts or input to help me make a decision would be greatly appreciated.
