LCD TV size for cab?

I'm thinking of building this arcade during the summer
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=92156.0
I'm trying to get an idea of how much $$ I need to save for paint, plywood, the tv, etc... I have a friend who has all the tools needed to build this and he says he can extrapolate the dimensions from the 3d drawing in the thread if I knew what was going to be inside of it.
My question is, what kind of monitor would you guys suggest for this type of build? He used and 28" LCD computer monitor, but those are pretty rare or expensive. I can get a 32" lcd tv for about the same price.
I found this monitor
HannsG HH281HPB 28" Class Widescreen HD LCD Monitor - 1920x1200 for 340

but for about the same price I found this monitor
AOC 32" 720p LCD HDTV L32W961 for 380 (free shipping)
