best gaming tv in the ~$600 price range

hello everyone. i'm looking to buy a HDTV this week, and was wonering what would get me the most bang for my buck for around 600 bucks. it's primary purpose will be for playing my 360 and i haven't really found any solid info on whether LCD or plasma would be the best for gaming, or if there really is a big difference at all. i do have a 360 with an hdmi port if that makes any difference (i've heard there are 360's without one)

from the browsing i've done in stores, the screen on plasma's seems to be very susceptible to glare. i have MANY windows where i game, and nothing drives me more crazy than seeing their glare on my screen when im watching a movie or gaming.

i work at walmart, so have access to a 10% discount, so will most definitey be purchasing my television there.

any advice from someone with some knowledge on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Please stop the misinformation, most plasmas have anti-burnin caled pixel shifting. If not then stop buying the cheap brand like vizio.

Burnin is so 80s.

Since you work for Walmart i would recommend a VW32L or VP322 both are vizio but there is no difference between vizio and the higher end brands like sony,samsung,lg. ScRuBJoNeS407

Please don't spread false information. The higher end brands are more for a reason.

There is a lot of economic behind why Vizio sells their HDTV for cheaper, maybe because consumers are attracted to lower prices.

I Would recomend getting one of those i have one and it is a great TV. Dont believe the people saying its crap just because it is not a well known name. It is a great TV for a Great Price.

thanks for the input everyone. i ended up spending a little overbudget and went with a 42'' vizio lcd.

i did have a few more questions since you ahve all been so helpful. the display when playing my xbox is amazing now, but my television (both regular and HD channels) look terrible. i am still connected on basic cable line (the kind that screws in, like with old school TV's). would this account for my low picture quality?

Samsung makes their own panels. In fact they make panels for Sony as well. Soon Panasonic will me making plasma panels for Poineer. Last I heard Sharp will be producing LCD panels for Pioneer as well.

The chips used in these different models are the main thing seperating them. Sony uses their BRAVIA engine for example.

From what I understand Vizio buys older generations of LCD and Plasma technology therefore being able to both purchace and sell them for cheaper.

Remember, you get what you pay for.
