a HDTV for my XBOX360

Hello, i need a budget television for a budget price of around $300. I could get a LCD monitor, but i hear wide-screens are longer than a traditional television wide-screen. is this true?

I need something that has decent picture quality and response time. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of resolution for a bigger TV

any recommendations?

LCD monitors are 16:10 aspect ratio and LCD TV's are 16:9. So unless the monitor has 1:1 pixel mapping or aspect mode, your image will be stretched a bit vertically. $300 is really not a lot of money in the HDTV world, so I think LCD monitors would be your best bet. If you look at newegg.com, you have a lot of choices for under $300. Just go to the LCD monitors section and filter the prices at $200-$300.

My personal choice is the Sceptre X20G-Naga III. You'll have to pick up a VGA cable for your 360 though. 

ive been looking at this monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009102  do you reccomend it? also, can i use the monitor for traditional T.V. uses, such as playing last gen consoles and viewing my dish sattelite? oh, and how do they measure widescreens? would it be a big jump in size from my 19" standard definition, non widescreen T.V.?
