Decent 32" LCD tv for games and pc stuff

I'm looking to get a cheapish (around £300-350) 32 lcd tv which I will mainly be using for games but also as a pc monitor for watching films on.

This one seems alright: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...nt+and+sat+nav %7C14419512/c_2/3%7C15701169%7CTelevisions%7C14419667/c_3/4%7Ccat_14419667%7C32+inch+LCD+TVs%7C14419678.htm

I'm not obsessed with or fully understand all the technical details but I would like it to look right through hdmi for 360 and through vga for my pc stuff. Also, maybe pointless but do any of these lcd tvs have a decent rgb output for playing older stuff like ps2 and back or do they all look like ****?

Any thoughts or recommendations would be most apprecaited!

Thank you.

Link doesn't work

For £350 you can get the Samsung 32B530 which is full hd so should do a great job as a pc monitor.

I can't seem to fix the link, it's a Samsung LE32B450C4WXXU.

Thanks for the recommendation. It's says it's 50hz though, is that an issue for playing games in 60hz?
