A monitor with a resolution of 1920x1200 or TV with a resolution of 1920x1080 is also capable of displaying 720p and 1080p video. So you should be able to see the difference on a 32" TV (with the correct resolution), I'm guessing that you would probably see the difference on an affordable 24" monitor (don't have one, so can't guarantee it).The number of pixels do affect picture quality, the higher number of pixels used, the better the quality of the image. It isn't the only factor, but it is one. Movies on monitors and TVs scale to fit the screen. So a low resolution video can be as large as a high resolution video, the quality of the video is different though. In other words, if your video doesn't have a lot of pixels, having more pixels in your TV/monitor isn't going to improve the quality one bit.There's not really a 'typical' sort of user, everyone has different 'needs'. You might only use the browser, but if you have 20+ tabs open at the same time, chances are that you'll need a more capable PC then someone that only uses a single tab.</blockquote>
