Hey 360-hq, i need some help. I am thinking about buying a 360, but first i want to purchase an HDTV. Ya know, to experience the whole great graphics thing. Anyway, before i buy the 360, i want to buy a reliable HDTV. And i was wondering if anyone on this site could help me on choosing the most reliable, and great looking HDTV for the best price. I would appreciate any suggestions. plus i dont really know a whole lot on HDTV, so any help is appreciated. thanks in advance.

When i looked into purchasing my setup i looked at so many plasma's, lcd's, projectors etc etc... lol I couldnt decide with lcd or plasma but in the end went for the Pioneer HD Plasma because the color just stood out so much more for me then any other i seen..
Let me tell you though, it was a little more expensive then most but i luckily got it at wholesale pricing.. (thankyou god).. Its a never ending loop trying to decide. What you really just need to decide is what is your real budget..??? Thats the main thing..
I myself ended up purchasing the World's #1 plasma 2 years in a row.. The Pioneer 127cm HDTV Plasma.. It only supports 1080i and not p but hey im happy with that.. I have not got one bad thing to say about it and ive even smashed my mini rc helicopters into it..

O' and what are some names to trust and some names to stay away from. And as i said before, i do not know that much about hdtv's so what kind of specs do i want. like what contrast ratio and aspect ratio. stuff like that. and what kind of plug-ins should i look for? what is 1080i, 1080b, and other stuff

I bought my first HDTV from tigerdirect.com last month, the Olevia 32" LCD. This has been a fantastic TV for both my HD and XBOX stuff. I paid $550 for and it was worth every penny. If youre a hardcore HD buff then you will probably want to get better but for cost effective HDTV you cant go wrong with the Olevia's. _________________________________________________________ ____________________________________
