Ive been lookin for a hdtv for my ps3 but just cant decide which to get. I want either a 32in or 37in for my bedroom. All the 32in ive seen are 720p for about $600 and the 37in 720p are $800. But i saw this at Target and was wondering why so cheap. Is this a bad brand for tv's or just a good deal. 37in 1080i for $650 seems like a steal.

Haven't heard much on the Magnavox LCD's. The average customer rating is 3.5 stars. Maybe check out those reviews.

If you want an awesome gaming HDTV. I recommend getting the LG 32" 32LB4D. It's one of the few tv's that have 120 Hz refresh rate and XD gaming engine. Trust me, everything you play will be so smooth it's unbelievable. It's a Future Shop exclusive only, so you might have to order it online. The price is pretty expensive, but i got mine for $899.99 cause i'm a regular customer and future shop. I don't know what price you can get it for, but if you buy it online, then it's going to be a fixed price. On the other hand, that TV you want to buy for $650.00 does not look very reliable to me. Go with brand names. Sony, Samsung, LG, Toshiba, Panasonic...those kinds of brands. You're going to pay $650.00 for a not so known tv with below mediocre stats, you might as well pay a few more hundred dollars to get a tv that will last you a very long time. Here's the link to my tv:

I saw two Sony sets at BB yesterday, both set to run 120Hz. One had Pirates playing, the other had Fantastic Four. Both sets were weirding me out to the point where I asked a sales associate if I was going crazy. The picture looked to almost be full 3D, like it was a window. It kinda detracted from the movies because they no longer had that feel of taking you out of reality. It almost looked as if you were standing there as they filmed.

They mainly make LCD monitors for PC's. Not questioning how great the TV is but half the time Sam's/Costco/Walmart don't have they're TV displays set up right. Sony by far has the nicest sets out there.

Price performance king is probably Vizio. Check out http://www.compusa.com/ and they have a referbished (if you dont mind a referb) for $800 + S&H and tax. for a 42" 1080P.

Vizio VU42LFHD

or a Non Referb for $1099.99 and it comes with an HD DVD player, 9 movies (4 in the box, 5 by mail) and an HDMI Cable.

well if u got 25k or so there is better called bang & olufson which by far is the best you can purchase for sound picture and viewing plessure

http://www.bang-olufsen.com/page.asp?id=14 This tv senses light on the screen and adjust to no glare is is highest quality, but for an unfair price because not many can afford it. Life time warrenty is always good aswell.

if you ever go to Germany go check them out you wont be disapointed, but if you break something you might be staying a while to pay it off XD

You dont need 120 hz or w/e, it doesnt make it any smoother, most games cap at 60 FPS so all u need is 60 hrz
