My TV started acting funny at the weekend (just about the same time my gf's 12-year-old sister got to it... hmm...): It detuned and convinced itself it was a widescreen TV. I got the channels back but I can't make it show non-4:3 DVDs without it stretching the picture vertically a bit. Not a drastic problem but annoying.
It's a Goodmans 28" set, doubt any of you would have it let alone experienced the same problem, but just posting it out of hope ;-).
So if I was to get a flatscreen to go with my XBox 360, how much would I be looking at spending?
It should be HD-Ready, 30" or larger, have at least two rgb scarts and a HD-input, and either a non-upscaling mode or a decent-enough upscaler that the PS2/GC games don't become unplayable.
I don't need fancy speakers (or in fact any at all if it's got stereo-out) or a swanky stand. Bells and whistles like P-in-P and digital tuners are nice but unnecessary.
The lower the price the more chance of getting it past Her, but at the same time it has to be nice enough to last four years or so. I've seen some shocking flatscreens in Tescos and don't want to be left ruing not spending that extra few hundred.
Plus; should I go for an LCD or a Plasma? Neither have real burn-in issues anymore do they?
Any tips or hints for good gaming tellys would be nice too.
Cheers fellas,
Andy.
