A 32" 1080p HDTV is about $500-$700 at the moment depending on the brand. Nobody looking for a TV is going to spend 3x as much on an iMac that has a smaller screen and a single input that can't even be used with most consoles/dvd/bluray players - good luck finding an HDMI/Component to Mini DisplayPort adapter.
Apple may one day get into the TV market with some TV/AppleTV hybrid, but when they do it'll either need to be a lot cheaper or a lot bigger than the 27" iMac to stand a chance.
In the meantine, if you're desperate for a TV that runs some version of OSX then buy a Mac Mini and a 40" HDTV. Not only do you get more for your money but it's better suited for any non-computing purpose.
