18" samsung LCD computer monitor for my comp and 360.

A bit small, but the res and sharpness can't be beat.

Simple, but effective.

WTF...

this poll is severely flawed

CRT - Can be a regular display type or rear projection or front projection
LCD/LCoS - LCD can be a regular display type or rear projection or front projection... LCoS is rear/front projection only
DLP - DLP is rear or front projection only
Plasma - pretty much the only answer that is clear cut.
Projection - projection what? rear? front? this is already covered by half the other answers
Don't know/Don't care

The problem is the answers are melding two questions into one and doing a poor job of it.

The answers are for the questions "What technology does your tv use" and "what format is your display technology"

What technology does your TV use could be:
-CRT
-LCD
-DLP
-PLasma

What format would be
-Direct Display
-Rear Projection
-Front Projection

You could maybe meld them like this:

-CRT (direct display)
-CRT (Rear Projection)
-CRT (front projection)
-LCD (direct Display)
-LCD/LCoS (rear projection)
-LCD/LCoS (front projection)
-DLP (Rear Projection)
-DLP (Front projection)
-Plasma

I'm usually bothered by polls that are worded incorrectly because the answers become inaccurate and then whole poll becomes useless as a result.

Let me reword this poll so you have an idea of what I'm talking about

What is your Favorite Video game?
Mario
Sonic
Crash Bandicoot
Halo 3
Playstation 2
Don't know/Don't care

^that is pretty much exactly how this question is worded when put in the context of display technology

I use a 19" LG LCD Monitor. It has a native resolution of 1440x900, a 3000:1 Dynamic CR, 2ms response time, and uses DVI-D/VGA for input. i keep my 360 Premium hooked in on VGA, and my eMachine hooked into the DVI. my only complaint about using the monitor is that it has a 16:10 contrast ratio. The 360 uses 16:9 contrast resolutions. when i display the 360's signal on it, the image is squished in from the sides, making things look taller and thinner. Luckily it's only noticeable with round things like the xbox or button symbols.

I'm wanting to sign up as a member at the official xbox forum to start a poll, seeing if it's possible to get 16:10 support added in, and how many people would want it. to kill the distortion caused by automatic display scaling, M$ could put black bars on the top and bottom of the picture, or somehow hack in support for true fullscreen picture in games on 16:10 monitors.

But aside from that little tick, the display looks beautiful. RE4 on my PC looks amazing with it's +768p signal, FPSes on my 360 are awesome with a wider screen. for 209 bucks, this was a steal.

55" Mitsu Rear Projection 1080i

i dont know what catergory that fits in as i considered the "projection" choice to mean an actual projector onto a screen. so it might be Lcos or projection not sure.

Currently I only have one HD display, and that is my Gateway FPD2485W 24" LCD PC monitor, which accepts all video sources including DVI, VGA, HDMI, HDCP, component, S-video, and composite. I play my 360 and PC games on that, but I play all my other consoles on one of my Toshiba 50" standard definition projection TVs. Haven't been able to afford a nice big screen plasma or LCD, but soon....

50" Pioneer 720p Plasma. Also had concerns about burn-in when I bought it, but I did as suggested and broke it in gently the first few months (watching not on full brightness, giving it "breaks" in between a couple hours of gaming or movies). I've never had a problem with burn-in, even after 6+ straight hours of continuous gameplay.

Would love to start on a 1080p projector someday
