I'm sitting here with a 1080p 32" HDTV and multiple 24" monitors. Even with the lower PPI of the 32", I would choose it every time over the 24" multiples for gaming.

It's all about viewing distance, you will not notice the lower PPI unless you are retina burning close to the screen.

I sit exactly at 1 m, at little over 3 ft. I find at 1080p the 32" is ideal for this distance, with a 24" text is too small, and a 42" is much too large to sit this close (I haven't yet tried a 37").

One of the most common problems for those with HDTVs is incorrect setup. Most newer HDTVs have a PC input setting which eliminates a lot of the processing incorporated for TV/movie viewing. Most of the complaints I see with HDTVs are from incorrect calibration/setup.
