Need help! New tv for Xbox

Hey everyone, Ive just recently got the money to upgrade from my 20.1" monitor to a much bigger TV for my 360! The only problem is that I cant make a decision on what TV I should get. I have an Elite so I really want one with 1080p and Ive found a few good deals on a couple 42" LCD's. Mainly these two:

Any help deciding would be great. This is the first TV ive bought and for the time being it will be used exclusivly for gaming and movie watching. And if anyone else knows of any other great deals I should be looking at in my price range, Under $1200, then please let me know!

Also, do you think I should just wait for this weekend to see if anyone has some good labor day weekend sales going on?

No I usually have about 5-7 feet inbetween me and my TV, plus, ive played FPS on 50+" LCD TV's and havnt hada problem. So Im not really sure where your concern comes from...RedNight55

If you can play well at a FPS on a huge screen then you sir have some fast eyes. All that room can be a disadvantage and you might not see enemys in the very corners of the screen because you'd be focus on the huge center of the screen.

I agree that shooters aren't as much fun on a large TV as one slightly smaller, but I don't think you'll have this problem on a 43 inch screen. 50+ and it becomes an issue for some people. I have heard good things about the Vizio's. While maybe not as good as some of the really high end HDTV's the value is better.

I've been looking for the past few days myself, and I came across this awesome deal on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LNT4661F-1080p-LCD-HDTV/dp/B000N50S5Y/ref=pd_ys_qtk_rvi/002-2502418-6651231?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Q9050WCNNX2A9EF2D4T&pf_rd_t=1501&pf_rd_p=186412001&pf_rd_i=home

It may be outside of your budget but you get a Free 19 inch HDTV with the purchase.

i recently bought a 37 inch vizio and wow is the quailty good u shouldnt judge the tvs by the brand this tv is awesome

gears looks amazing on hdtv

sucks is it cant play 1080p but i dont get the difference between 1080p and 1080i...

Nobody said anything bad about the Vizios, like I said I have only heard good things. Yeah the Aquos or Samsung models may have a slightly better picture, but for the money the Vizio can't be beat. In fact I am seriously considering getting two of them next week.Wal-Mart has the 26 inch Vizios for under $500 each, and the other comparable sets are about $700.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I have put some thought into it and have decided to get a smaller size, between 32"-37", mainly to save me a few extra bucks. Im also going to wait till this weekend and hope for some good labor day sales. But yeah I just wanted to say thanks for all the help everyone!
