Don't know if anyone on here knows much about this stuff. I'm learning, but I might be getting an Xbox 360 Elite this weekend, and I'm saving for an HDTV buy the end of the year, and I've found these that look good. I want to know which is better for gaming.

This one

this one

Or this one

honestly, you shouldn't have to go so big right off the bat, but if i were to choose out of those three, i'd either go for the samsung or the phillips. probably the phillips...

Those were the cheapest for 1080P though. That's why I chose them.

Ever since the update last Spring, every 360 game supports 1080P.

I personally wont pay that much for a TV, but if i had to pick one I would go for the Sony, the main reason being that Sony makes good quality stuff and are good about standing behind there product. And in the end the 200 dollar difference is negligible.

Id would stay away from anything magnavox or phillips. I have had 2 TV and 3 VCR's made by them and they have all went bad within a year.

And as far as the Samsung goes I think it would be a decent TV but Ive not had much experience with there brand beyond my camera and a cell phone

But thats my 2 copper for whats its worth

agreed, but the problem that i have with the sony, is that it is a projection TV. picture quality of projection TVs aren't that great. from ones i have seen in the past is that the color washes out on them fairly quickly. but they may have improved on the technology...

I am glad you said something.

I was going to buy one too.

But I didn't want to settle for a small t.v.

But if the prices drop later this year, I will be happy because I want at least a 32 inch hdtv.

You can buy HDTV's that cost like 1000 bucks last year that only cost 400-500 this year.

my dad bought an HDTV, a couple of years ago, for about $400-$500. the one we have in apartment only cost Dave-0 about the same. the only reason why an HDTV is going to cost over a grand, is for the fact that its either LCD or plasma. honestly, i don't know if i would want to buy either at this time.

I don't think I would want plasma, simply because if you leave it on for too long, it eill imprint the an image onto and it would be ruined.

also, plasmas have a pretty much set shelf life, because of the process used to create the image. they only last a few years. that's not something that i want to put a grand into...
