Re: What HDTV Are You Using With Your Xbox 360?

At the moment, I have a Samsung LE26R87BDX. As of tomorrow morning though, it'll be the Samsung LE40A656!!!

Looking forward to the step up to 40" and full HD viewing.

(Yes, I'm a bit of a stickler for Samsung - I have a samsung phone, microwave and american style fridge too! I'm a freak!)

Re: What HDTV Are You Using With Your Xbox 360?

Ive had a Sony 40V3000 for almost a year and its quite good set but after seeing the Panasonic 42PZ81 and 85 in action i'll be making an upgrade in a couple of months. I was initially worried about screen retention if i purchased a plasma but it really does seem to be rare theses days and since most of my viewing is HD-DVD and Blu-Ray i think plasma is the way to go now.

with there X360's to post what HDTV they own and why they chose it?

I think if you went with either of those you would go far wrong and would be pleased.
Personally I would go with the Sony... I like Sony products
although I have had a Panny TV in the past and I couldn't fault that either.

Re: What HDTV Are You Using With Your Xbox 360?

I play on the 22" widescreen LG "M228WD" as it's ideal for my desk where I sit, all of about 8 inches away - Fantastic screen though must say.

I do on occasions use the 42" Sharp "LC42B20E", but thats only when eastenders has finished

Hitachi 42 PD7200 Plasma. Fantastic image quality no blurring or burn in or any other problems.

Also use a Dell 19" LCD monitor upstairs sometimes but I don't really like the washed out colours when playing over VGA.

26" Samsung LE26R74BDX.

Would've liked a 32" but would've been too big for my desk.

Re: What HDTV Are You Using With Your Xbox 360?

Just got a Panasonic 32lxd85 for the kids (he he, or at least that's what I told the wife). £499 from John Lewis + 5yr guarantee, maybe cheaper in the sales - only used for gaming, fantastic quality, really pleased, but as someone mentioned earlier, you are going to get a 100 different replies here all stating they are happy with what they have

Re: What HDTV Are You Using With Your Xbox 360?

Like a lot of posters on previously I also have a 40" Samsung 6 series that I use for gaming and HD Movies, and it is truly epic. If I remember correctly this is the samsung equivelent to the Sony 4500 and they have the same spec. If im right on this I would go for the samsung because its a lot nicer to look at than the Sony.

If its a choice between an LCD or Plasma then it totally depends on what you want it for. If you want it for gaming and HD movies, than you will have to sacrifice a bit on SD picture in comparison to the plasma and exactly the opposite if you go for a plasma. Better SD picture but not as great on HD stuff.

I am in a similar situation, I have the exact same TV and am looking to get a 32" but it would be too big for my bedroom.Also I use the TV as a PC monitor so 32" sitting very close would be too big.
