I think I prefer Tack's last proposal, because IMHO it would be better not to
mix monitors and TVs. From Freevo's view it may not make a large difference
how the picture gets on a screen, but the whole hardware setup is quite
different. Also, LCD monitors without a separate receiver indicate different
requirements towards TV/receiver integration in Freevo.

That's not how I recall the situation in local stores; although there are
certainly some TVs for 600€ which are not too bad, *good* TVs (i.e. Full HD,
maybe 100Hz, ...) seem to be more costly. I bought a 24" 16:10 LCD for 300€
(OK, it was the presentation sample, but you can get good ones for less than
400€).
OK, your point was that it's not 10x the cost, but 3x, and I agree with you;
it might even be more like 2x-3x. But that's still a multiplicative factor,
and I would not be allowed to pay twice as much, no matter the screen size
(in the end my wife would probably even consider that to be a downside ;-) ).
