I am using Westinghouse 1080p 37" that I bought for $800 from costco as both my xbox360 and PC monitor, it can do picture in picture, side by side etc. neweggs.com also has good deals on 1080p.

I have no idea what black bar you are talking about. May be it is not showed up on my 1080p.

That place has the best LCD's Bang for buck. You can buy them all over the place now and they are the leading seller of LCD's in the US. 32"er is like 599. But it's a 720p tv. More than enough unless you want to go huge.

If that is the case then you will need to do some homework by visting the local store and get the best deals and write down the name and modal of your choices. Then search for the consumer reviews of the TV brand from internet. One good site is http://reviews.cnet.com

This TV is not widescreen standard, you will still find bars somewhere or not getting the correct aspect ratio.

no I am wrong, it has the correct ratio. I looked at the wrong tv.

yeah, it will take away the black bars. But I suggest you to search around for a couple of days. Never rush in buying stuff that is that expensive. well if you are rich, you should go for the best, if not, look and think more before you buy.

With a 25-30 inch you won't need 1080p if they even make one without it being a pc monitor. I'd probably go with this one in that price range http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5623471 $448.00 26"er

I don't really know that anyone makes a 1080p TV smaller than a 37" but I could be wrong. One other thing to consider is that according to someone at Panasonic, the human eye can't tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p on anything smaller than a 50" TV. Myself, I just bought the Samsung 40" LNT 4061 1080p LCD tv and it looks unbelievable. Of course I only found out about the human eye thing after I bought it but who cares. I paid $1700 CDN for it and was worth every penny. Now I don't work for Samsung or Microsoft so forgive me if I'm wrong but I've heard from a few places that the newer Samsung LCD tvs were designed by Samsung with the Xbox 360 in mind in cooperation with MS. That being said, whenever Microsoft shows off a game to the public or has one on display you can try out, guess what....its playing on a Samsung. They just look that great.

Hope that all helps.

I'm telling ya the 32" vizio at costco for 599.99 or the 1080p 42"er for 1199.99. If you don't like it take it back but you gotta at least try it. You'll hear great things from vizio owners like me. I don't think you'll be dissapointed. You can save that extra cash for games and such plus they have a zero stuck pixel guarrantee on top of the costco warranty. You can't go wrong.

Wal-Mart carries the new Samsung LCD HDTV's with the game mode and everything, for dam good prices too. They have a 32" with the game mode for $900.00 and a 37" with the game mode for $1200.00, they also have some smaller TVs around 27" still with the game mode for like $500 or $600. They are all 720p 1080i though, but they do come with HDMI inputs and everything else, and I hear that the new game mode they come with makes a pretty big difference. I have been looking myself for a 1080p tv, but saw that walmart carries the newer samsungs and changed my mind and im going ot get one of the 32" or 37" Samsungs there at wal-mart. Just check it out, wal-mart is always dropping the prices on them. At my wal-mart here where i live, a week ago both of those TVs were almost $200 more.
