Can someone please check out the specs on this TV? http://www.soyousa.c...desc.php?id=325
Would it be the be all end all solution for 360? I can get this TV at a meager price of $799.
If someone could point out some pros and cons, it'd be helpful. Thanks.

Is 720p better that 1080i????
No. 1080i is a higher resolution.

Not really. Obviously this has always been a big heated debate, but the fact that LCD, Plasma, DLP, etc (all but CRT) are progressive scan natively, and the native display of the one the poster linked is just above 1280x720 (720p), 720p will likely make the most sense.
Why send it an interlaced higher signal, to have the tv de-interlace it and convert it back to close to its native res of 720p?
Also, the fact that all of the X360's are using LCD TV's is because that's the one they chose to go with with the kiosk, and they likely got a nice discount for buying a ton of them.
So, 1080i if using a CRT (monitor, CRT based rear projection TV) 720p for just about everything else. (DLP, dILA, LCD, LCD Projection, LCOS, etc)

However, I've never had a widescreen TV before. What would regular cable look like from Cablevision?
Or how about X360 games, will they take up the entire widescreen? Or will there be black bars somewhere?

720p output from the xbox is close enough to this set's native res(1280x720 -> 1366x768). you can either get a vga adapter and set the res. output to 1360x768 and have the xbox do the scaling, or you can just use component cables and this tv will do the minimal upscale. widescreen is good too.

How much of a difference is there when upscaling from 1366x768 to 1280x720? Or the other way around?

Here is the pecking order.
CRT (The Sony SXRD's are beautiful)
Plasma (No burn-in issues with newest generations)
DLP (Small quality loss from Plasma)
LCT last.

Don't listen to these noobs. LCD's are the WORST type of TV for gaming. Their refresh rates are over 4x longer than the average plasma. You will NOT see crisp pictures in action sequences. You will see ghosting all over the place.

Actually i beg to differ. I went to Best Buy over the weekend to play the X360 And it was on like a 40" LG brand LCD im pritty sure. And i have to say in all my amusment, it looked beautyfull. Made me wanna get one, but i dident have time to check out what the prices were on them. I think the whole thing about LCD was probly based on like the first LCD TVs that came out. Since then the quality n' stuff of it has improved over time.
