For those with HDTV knowledge, help me pick one

I have decided that my 360 needs to been on hdtv. I have seen it on and hd projector last weekend and it was nuts.

I really want to stay around the 500 mark.

Theres a few that I have been looking at.

A westinghouse 27"

LTV-27W7 is the mo I believe

And this dell one

Dell W2300 with a 23" screen.

I have been referencing this link also for tvs, since I havent found any other good source on hd gaming.

*edit - I just noticed they put that exact westinghouse up there:crying:

i am not sure on the price, but the olevia lcds won best in its size this year or last. i have one and i absolutly love it. way better than the samsung, toshiba, sharp, and sony high defs that we have, the others dont even come close to the color or clearness of the olevia.

Its compatible with 720p, which is great.

i dont see my tv on the good or bad list but i know it kicks so much more *** playing it 360 in hd, then my 32 crt sony tv i had that was only 480 i

those olevia tvs seem to be cool from what im looking at your links. but i dunno i would choose say rather a dell or something just go to the stores and watch as much tv as you can. sorry thing is i doubt many if any will have a 360 hooked up to them to compare //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

i have played my 360 in hi def on the toshibas top of the line lcd, sonys top of the line lcd, and the olevia, and the olevia beats their ***** all day long with 360, digital cable, and dvd. i wouldnt consider the dell to be anywhere near as on the same level as those three i mentioned.

never watched a dell or the olevia in person. i have watched the sony's samsung so on so on but only for the bigger screen non lcd's and i got to say the sony i got had one if not the best picture out of all of them besides the lcd and also gave alot of the lcds a run for their money

but his looking to spend 500 never really got to look at any of the lower priced units but by what your saying and what im reading the olevia seems like a good buy

I think I remember reading for 360 it does because thats its native resolution.

1080i is a higher resolution, but for fast paced movies and such 720p would be better. i stands for interlaced which means the picture comes in from both sides of the screen at once, p = progressive which means they come in one line after the other from the top down or bottom up. both are good quality. i'm curious to see how 1080p does once we have stuff actually in a 1080p format. not upconverted.

depending how much gaming and how much your gonna use the tv. spend as much as your budget allows you will not regret it.

That Vizio 32" is one of the best deals going on right now.

I would buy it at Costco, rather than Sam's club, because you can return it if you ever have a problem with it regardless of how long you've had it.
