Same here. I'm looking for a rather decent telly that's able to handle HD nicely, gives me at least 3 HDMI ports, not all too shoddy sound (I know, sound is usually the real weak spot of these...), and, well, has a pricetag of no more than say 800€.
The LG ELECTRONICS 32LG6000 is supposedly quite decent. Though I tend to be wary due to it being very close to the 500€ watershed of piss poorishness. I guess the prerequisite, that it should be good for playing games on it should be clear, given where on the forum this thread is located... Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll probably be getting the Samsung LE-37A656A1.
It's reasonably priced (about 900€ including shipping), reasonably big (well, 37" might even be something naysayers could call "UNresonably big"), and can do 100Hz picture and all the jazz, and doesn't have outright BAD reviews. With LG, I know... They tend to have a slight stench of cheapyness clinging to them. In my nose at least. I can't nail it why, maybe their logo reminds me too much of that of Hoover and thus in my consumer subconcious mind I make the connection that a comapny who's logo looks like they produce washing machines and vacuum cleaners can't make good electronics... And that still remains, even after I've had two of their DVD drives in my PC for YEARS without them breaking down, and possibly making them the longest lasting optical drives I've ever owned... *shrugs* Samsung on the other hand is a brand I have a lot of trust in... Even though it's true, the "speakers" in my TFT (Computer) screen from them are actually measly weak... I've tried finding that Sharp thing, without success. Guess it's no longer produced... Or not on sale here... O_ô EDIT: Okay, I've gone and ordered the Samsung. I've had some good experiences with their screens so far, and this one seems to be one of the cheaper models that don't have some really bad reviews AND 100Hz. Plus Cnet says it's a good screen for gamers. Now I should really see to it that I get my hueg bulky SDTV sold...  There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hm...
Now I'm again at the question of what resolution I should put the screen to. Or rather, what resolution I should put the CONSOLES to. It's capable of Full HD, but given that 1080 resolutions tend to be upscaled anyway, is it then better to just leave the settings at 780p? I mean... The consoles MENUS sure are displayed a lot sharper when set to 1080, but I'm never quite that sure about wether or not the GAMES are displayed in the optimal way. That being said, I think I like the Samsung I picked. But then again, that could just be becuase it's pretty big and thus firstly just wowz0rs with size. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
