So I'm thinking of finally buying an HDTV (got to love those low monthly payments), but I don't remember which is the best for videogames. Does anyone know the advantages/disadvantages of the various types?

i've had a Sharp Aquos a few months now and it continually amazes me. HD Cable, DVD, PS3, Blu Ray...while some look better than others, it's all gravy.

I have a 48'' flat screen Sony HD LCD, and it performs fantastically for both sporting events, and games.

The only thing you don't want to watch is CSI...you can see each individual pore on everyone's face, and they'er all as big as a nickle.

It's gross.

You don't really want a plasma.

Do not buy an EDTV, it's only 480p. Don't buy a plasma, they buzz, get really hot, and don't last more than a few years.

LCD is nice because it's VERY bright, and very sharp. No burn in, and less lag than DLP. (reports that it messes people up on DDR).

I have a samsung 61" DLP 1080p, and it's wonderful. Good darks, good lights.

If I was you, I'd find a 1080p tv because you'll wish you did later on. Sonys are really great but overpriced.

Which is why I recommend the Sharp Aquos...spec for spec, it matches Sony's Bravia series (which are definatley awesome prodcuts) but is about 33% cheaper

Yeah, I just got a Sharp Aquos for work. It's not a bad TV.

Plasmas are quite a bit more reliable than they used to be. They also tend to have a better contrast ratio and can display more colors. I haven't read anything yet about a buzzing problem, and they have features now to help prevent burnout. I checked out the Aquas but they're pretty expensive.... Also I don't think I'll be able to tell the difference with 1080p. I'm just going to have to go this weekend and look at all of them for myself. Maybe I will find an LCD I like.

That one's only 1200 on amazon and like 1500 at Best Buy.

What about the Bravia series? The Sony displays have always been a fave of mine.

This site looks like it's for general consumers, but read it anyways.

I'm gonna wait longer to buy one, plus i can't afford one atm :P I did see motorstorm running off a bravia and I want a bravia!!!!

I just read this. It matches the specs but it doesn't say "Bravia"......mmm

Ok yeh you make a point. Same specs, much cheaper. Maybe that'll be my next tv. Have u seen em side by side tho?
