Which New HD TV?? For xbox 1080p??Help!?

Hi,





I have currently got a standard 17 inch lcd tv. Obviously, so that I can get the best out of my xbox 360 premium console, i would like to buy a hd tv.





I would like the biggest size flat screen hd tv as possible, so that the graphics are at their best. Also, can I make it hd with the premium console, the cable that allows you to switch between standard and hd, does that do it.





Also how do you know if the televison you buy supports the maximum 1080p setting?





I have a budget of £250 and would like the biggest tv size possible, hd, that supports the highest hd setting (1080i/p?)





Any recommendations?





P.s on the 17 inch the writing is small, with a bigger tv will that problem not arise?





Thanks in advance,

£250 won't get you far you will need around £500.





To get the best you need 1080p - this standard is called FULL HD (most descriptions will say whether its 1080p or or or 720.





You also want high resolution, brightness and contrast - but as I said you will be unlikely to get a large 1080p tv for udner £500.





Its not just the tv, you need HDMI ports and cablles (the more expensive the better (you're looking around £20ish +).





Pop into somewheer like richer sounds and chat with the guys.





Also beware of buying a brand - I understand that Sony and Samsung make their tv's in the same factory - but you pay a hell of a lot more for one of them - I'll let you guess which.
Reply:If the TV supports 1080p, it'll say so right on the TV's frame. That's not a problem.





You'll want a HDTV that has at least one HDMI port.





The problem I see you having is that you don't have a whole lot of money. In the US, anyways, most HDTVs in the 30-40 inch range around US$600-700 (US$2 ~= 1GBP) at a minimum. US$1000 seems to be the sweet spot between size, performance and price. That'll get you a decent set that supports 1080p.
Reply:Also, keep in mind that unless the TV is 40" or more you will NOT notice a difference between 1080p and 720p.
