 1st off, if you spent a little, or maybe a lot more and got a 1080p tv (1920x1080) than you would most likely be runnign at a higher res than your pc..... =)

As for a good tv for that price, take a look in your area for either Samsung, Panasonic, Sharp, or Sony and see what you can find in that price range. Often, last seasons tv's will go down in price just before the "new" tvs come in so perhaps you can find a ncie deal. You're probably going to have to stick to the 27 inch range for that price though

wel, thats fine for me, for HD gaming I have my PC, but I will not be upgrading it anymore so I need a 360

720P is enough for me, and another thing, what games will amuse me in MP on live ?

 

 

thanks

The 360 elite hasn'e even been officialy annoced for anyware else apart from the USA at the moment but my guess would be about £300-£400 if it ever did come out in europe.

Yeah, you'll find a 13" from Sony at that price. Things cost more over in europe, so a 675 US$ budget is really more like a 500-550ish dollar US$ budget, I reckon. You can get a good Olevia 27" TV for about $400-500, depending on if you want the ATSC tuner. But yeah, you should be able to get a 27" TV with that budget, but don't expect to find one of the expensive brands' TVs for that much. Look toward middle of the road brands, such as westinghouse, they give you the best bang for the buck. Generally I'd avoid expensive brands (Samsung, Sony, etc) as well as cheap ones (Vizio, Haier, etc) and find a middle of the pack brand (Westinghouse, Olevia, etc). That's just my 2.5 cents, though

 Well, I'm a longtime pc gamer as well and I must admit I find ity hard to play console fps's on live, no matter how good they are. The control just isn't there when you're used to mouse and keyboard. that beign said, my favorite games online are GRAW 2 co-op, Gears of War co-op, Heavy Assault (XBLA game), Test Drive Unlimited, and a few others.

I think you'll find Xbox live is very well conceived comming from a pc background. If you like sports or racign games, than xbox live surpasses pc online in most respects, it just works wonderfully in most cases.

Spec wise it looks fine, although it only has 1 hdmi port, but there really is no way to tell if it's an ok tv or not without seeing it in action. The tv's that walmart sell all have ok specs but horrendous images. It's surprising how big a difference in image quality there can be with hdtv's. Some almost look closer to sdtvs in clarity.
