[PS3] What TV should I get?

Wow. 800 bucks after a, what, 350 dollar system? So you want a TV for like... 450 bones?

Nothing good, I'll tell you that much. You're probably relegating yourself to the 32" and under category. Which isn't horrid if you're going to be less than 6 feet back from the teevee. Just means you're going to be limited in the cool stuff you get with it. No crazy 120hz with smoothing technology to make your movies look gay and your games look fucking awesome. No Plasma quick response with unbelievable blacks and colours and all around sex in a tv screen format. For that kind of money, I'm guessing you'll wind up with a Sharp 32". Either the 720 or the 1080, since at that size no one will know the difference anyway.

Samsung might boast better colours, but it will be more expensive, and the sound on Sammy sets is atrocious. All tinny and poor.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm in the market for a monitor or TV in the £300-ish range (or $600 and down). Less than 32" is fine. No 1080 is fine. Looking for specific model recommendations.

Gratitude in advance.

32" and a functional monitor? LCD for you.

I'd look at the Samsung LN32A450, myself. 720p, good colour. Or else the sharp LC32D44U. Very close units.

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...

Be very, very wary of LG. They, like Toshiba, offer a lot of similar features to high end LCD sets. The 120hz, the smoothing technology, but they're really lackluster sets. They look bright and pretty, but you sacrifice quality when you buy them.

If you're using predominantly for gaming, there's only one tv you should be snatching in this size: The Sharp Aquos 32LC-GP3U. The vyper drive eliminates input lag and makes it fantastic for gaming. Certainly the guy you should be looking for. I've not had the pleasure of using it myself, but a mate of mine picked one up and just raves about it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
