Where's the option for a VGA monitor? Then again, that wouldn't be considered a TV.

I'm not getting one but my soon-to-be-roommate probably will. If that's the case, it'll most likely be played on a 65" Toshiba RPTV.

I have a 60" Sony Grand Wega III LCD RP

The native resolution is about 780 I think (it upconverts/downconverts beautifully)

What TV's are the BEST for gaming?

hmmm I would feel uncomfortable playing any game system on a plasma.

I know they've gotten much better about burn-in but having health bars and numbers in a fixed position on the screen for many many hours would make me worry. I hate worrying even if somethings 'hardly an issue'. It would always be in the back of my mind.

I think its going to have to be a process of elimination, theres so many good TVs out now. Narrow it down with price/size/brand etc.

I know some Tosh. DLPs had issues with sync but they may have fixed those. The new Sony LCOS and 3LCDs look SOOOOOoOOO good.

I've never had a problem with any ghosting, burn-in, etc. I see your point about not wanting to worry about it though. I wanted a display that I could hang over the fireplace. It was either plasma or LCD and LCD in June, 2004 wasn't as impressive as it is today (IMO). No regrets at all. Incredible picture.

Yeah, my friend has a Plasma and it was ok to play games on. I want to upgrade, but I cannot jusify getting rid of my Mits TV. I mean, how do you sell that? It was a pain to move once, and I don't really have room for another big-ass TV in my house. However, the 3LCD from Sony are nice. I would have to get the 60" one though, I cannot go smaller

Wow, some impressive TV's here, when and if I get a 360, I will probably still be playing on my 20" 4:3 tube. But it has a built in VCR...bet none of your fancy HDTVs have that.

46" of DLP sweetness. The 720p games on the Xbox were ok, but I'm ready for games that are optimized for HD. Can't wait!

Oops, good point. I chose "LCD", but I'm going to use our 55" rear projection LCDSony KDF-E55A20. I probably should have chosen RP.

Can't wait to see what it looks like, I've been too lazy to bring the old X-Box down and hook it up.

My option wasnt there.

I'll be on a good Ole' 19" CRT VGA monitor! A poor man's HD and Widescreen!

Eventually will get a bigger projector that supports HD since my current one does not.
