I have decided to buy the Insignia 27" HDTV. It is 380 dollars at the Best Buy in my city. I know that Insignia is a CRAP TV brand, but c'mon, its the cheapest HD I can get. And my budget is 400 dollars, maybe a little more if I'm able to scrounge enough money together.

The other TV I was looking at was the 27" Sony WEGA Trinitron SDTV. I already have 3 of these in my house, and the picture is pretty damn amazing. But it is only SD.

Both are about 400, but I really wanted to try the Insignia first. Then if I don't like it, Sony it is.

I was just wondering if anyone here has an Insignia, and what their experience with it was.

Also would there really be a big difference because it's only 27"? I've heard that HD is only really good above 40 inches or something.

I think its that one, It looks like it has 1 HDMI and and 1 Component input which should be ok for what your doing. Although for that Price range perhaps a nice 19 ch LCD Monitor would look better and allow for 1280X1024 over VGA cable, I have tried that and gaming is nice.
For example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116375 Another option is to save another 100 and you can get a new wonderful 27/32inch LCD which I think is the best option for you. For example these http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2102640411+4020&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=411 You can also save a little, buy getting a recertified/Refurbashed one, For Example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16889022040 I personally bought my 32inch LCD from BestBuy on blackfriday for 530 after tax and its the best purchase I bought. I love Newegg and they have amazing customer service and prices, Good luck, Hope this helps :D
