First off hello, I'm new, so if this is the wrong place to ask please forgive me. Okay so I have a Sharp Aquos LC-42D65U 42" LCD TV and at first I thought it was amazing, but after switching to HDMI I noticed that this T.V. is not meant for gaming. The outlines to objects and people in-game are pixelated/grainy and no-matter what I did to the T.V.'s settings it never changed. More examples are telephone lines in game just look like long pixel brides, or grass just look like bunches of pixels After close observation to other T.V.'s I noticed they don't do this, so I need a new T.V., I will spend from $1000-1500 or anything cheaper that will still get me the full PS3 experience will be appreciated. Just ANYTHING that will get me that clean ps3 experience I want. I have done everything in my power to fix my problems, but it's just the TV and nothing else. So please please help me out.
My parents have a Sony Bravia V series which really compliments the PS3, I like my XBR in the basement better but the XBRs are a little beyond that price range. Take a look at this
At Best Buy this week until Wednesday, they have a deal that if you buy this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+BRAVIA+/+52%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9223798.p?id=1218062425828&skuId=9223798&st=9223798&cp=1&lp=1
Then you will get a free PS3 at the same price for only $1499.98. It's on the back of the Best Buy ad this week. Here is also a review for the TV: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/sony-kdl-52v5100/4505-6482_7-33485094.html
You need to get at least 120HZ and in my opinion at least have a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Here is a TV I would really recommend if you spend a little more than $1500: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+52%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9401658.p?id=1218099252600&skuId=9401658&st=52%22%20lcd&cp=1&lp=1

ASLplease
OR just get a plasma which has around 600Hz and a better dynamic ratio for cheaper. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+50%22+Class+/+1080p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9290117.p?id=1218075402383&skuId=9290117
If your PS3 is in a room with lots of windows and natural light that you can't control, then go for an LCD because Plasmas don't do well in bright lights. However, if you can control the light, Plasmas are a no brainer.
Gone are the days of ghosting and burn-in so you have nothing to worry about with that. Plasmas have much better picture qualityand much better specs for a lower price. 600Hz and .001ms response time on a 50" for about $1000. That's unheard of with LCDs.
Best Buy is having a Black Friday sale ... look for the Samsung 50" Widescreen 1080p Plasma HDTV - $897.99.
Thank you all very much!, I finally found the TV I wanted after searching for so long! And next time I'll post on the audio video section. Thank you all very much, you have helped out a fellow gamer and succeeded flawlessly when others failed miserably! *salutes*
Plasmas are excellent picture quality wise, and while it's true that burn-in is no longer an issue, they really will shoot up your power bill... and according to a friend of mine who operates a TV repair shop, they are the most common television needing replacement parts with an average life span of about 3 years. :?

3 years ago they were bad to buy. Now its way better then LCD. Or if you must get an LCD make sure it has that new LED tech in it.
[QUOTE="jesseCheech"]So what plasmas would you recommend?raven_squad
Panasonic Viera is by far the easiest Plasma to recommend. So it's pretty much the best one? Is it $1600 or under? How exactly do you take care of a plasma? Does it have to be away from ANY kind of sunlight? Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make sure I get the right TV firt for me this time.
I started with a Sony XBR LCD when I got my PS3. Then I got a Pioneer plasma. lets just say, my XBR doesn't see much action anymore... ;)
But seriously, go with the Panasonic Viera, I know sears has the 54" S1 series right now for $1099.... 100,000 viewing hours for lifespan... great stuff... or the 54" G10 that is THX certified for its video quality, it will be $1499 on fri and sat.
