I never have owned a high dif tv, and this is my first time. My last tv was a toshiba 27" flat screen tv. I just wanted to know if this tv is capable for the 360 power needs?

Syntax isnt' a famous brand right? I would like it better to be a well known brand.

I'm no expert, as I'm looking for a 30" ws hdtv myself as well, but if you just want hd for the 360 that would do. If you got one with a built in hd tuner, you could possibly pick up hd cable broadcasts I believe.

I think you can get some lower model 30" hd ready tv's for the price of that Samsung. Just look around.

You may want to find one with an HDMI input as well. Just depends on what else you want to do with the tv and how long you are going to keep it as your primary tv.

This page explains what the HDMI inferface is.

As a suggestion for a HDTV, I recently bought this HDTV at Wal-Mart for about $577. It has an HDMI connector and a built-in HDTV tuner.

Needless to say, I highly recommend it

I would shy away from LCD's at the moment. The refresh on them isn't quite fast enough and you will end up with some ghosting on fast moving games. CRT's still provide the best picture quaility in my opinion. The only thing that comes close is the HD-ILA. Plasma, DLP, and LCD are all inferior.

I'm using a panasonic 26" HDTV(ct-26wx15). Its great as long as you aren't trying to play split screen with a friend.

Most newer LCD's have a low response time. So thats really no longer a big issue anymore. LCD's are fine.

I wouldnt get this one, mainly because of this

Digital Scanning Display Format
1080i (all signals converted to 1080i display)

Yeah, after a month of researching and shopping... most CRT HDTV's only do 1080i. 720p is going to give you the best picture. LCD's look fine now. Get an 8ms response time set and you will be fine.

Personally, I ended up going with the Viewsonic N2750w. Will be here Tuesday.

I would have liked to gotten the N3250w since it had a good rebate going as well as having HDMI, but oh well.

Plus it's not widescreen. If you want HDTV then you want widescreen 16:9

I have a older Samsung 26 inch widescreen that does 1080i and i'm upset with it. It has an overscan problem that cuts off a lot of the screen. Also 1080i and 480p look the same on it because the screen isn't huge. I suggest you save up and get a 40 inch or larger tv so that HD will actually look good on it.

Actually, the Sanyo HT32744 can let you change the video mode to widescreen. When in widescreen mode, the diagonal picture size is just above 29", so not much of the screen is wasted.

I chose this TV because I wanted the a compromise between the 16:9 and 4:3 worlds, as not everything is transmitted in the 16:9 ratio. If you are watching the Olympics, for example, on a widescreen TV, some of the picture is obviously lost.

WTF is with people constantly saying 1080i is worse than 720p. Sorry to burts your bubble but there is pretty much no visable difference from what Ive heard. And there is no sub 1000$ lcd that can compete with a sub 500$ crt in picture quality ATM. I would suggest waiting for the SED and Rear prog. LED Tvs and such as they are coming out by the end of the year.
