Alright I dont know where to put this so I thought this would be the proper section. (Steve feel free to move this to another section if you think I would get more input)

I am looking for an HDTV/Monitor to hook my 360 and PS3 up to (ya I am keeping the PS3) I just cannot figure out which one. For reference I was playing on a 47" Toshiba Regza (which looks amazing) but that is now down stairs. This will be going in my room and after this program most likely be a monitor for a desk top. I'd like something 24" or more, cost anywhere from 250-350ish, multi-inputs would be best, sturdy possible wall mountable, look great playing games as well as movies and possible surfing the net. Let me know what you have and how you like it.


Thanks

Luke

Thanks ghn, looks real nice but Google search is coming up empty. But from what I have seen it looks like 3,000+ pounds is way out of my price range.

Are you hooking only a 360 and PS3 up to this? Or are you using it as a desktop monitor as well?

edit: nevermind misread your post.

Well you picked a good time to start looking. There's some KILLER black Friday deals coming up next week.

Check out the 32 and 22 inch, they're both 720p so your resolution for your computer will be 1280x720, but I used that for a solid year and was fine with it until I upgraded to 1080p.

Black friday is coming up so this is definitely a good time to look for deals. Just wanting some info from people who might be doing the same thing I am. I would like to get one with 1080p so I wont have to upgrade my HDTV/Monitor later but will settle if I have to. I will say when I upgraded from a 720p 42" to a 1080p 47" I totally noticed the difference.

Would 32" be too big for a comp monitor?

:-( I only paid €280 for mine, brand new.

Looks like Steve had some inroad with the door busters coming up on Black Friday.

At 1.40-1.50 exchange rate so ... 400-420ish. Look around a bit more, I am sure that you still can find this discontinued model at some good price. That was how I bagged it, a new discontinued model lying in some shops inventory.

No, I ran 32 for a year, and then upgraded to 37 inch.... I loved the 32 inch. Counterstrike: Source played so well on it. Look at my old Desktop threads with pics!!!

Thanks Steve, one of the things I disliked about playing on the 47" was actually the size. Yes their is alot of real estate for the game but sometimes to big is too much (haven't we all heard that before)

If your giving your recommendation for a 32" I might have to go with that. I saw the add, think I should wait for actual black friday before I buy? Or are the deals just as good now?

Deals won't be THAT good. I went to my first black friday ever last year and ended up buying three 26 inch HDTVs for $240 a piece. It was great.

I plan on buying a 46 inch this year.

Judge for yourself if you want to see pics of my 32 inch setup. I loved it. (as well as a very old picture of me in a bathrobe)

I think a 32 would be perfect, after looking at the dimension's of mt room it would fit just and fine and be quite the monitor set up with a desk top.

Now to find a good one for the price. Thanks again for the insight guys and keep it coming. Will be check ad's and what not.
