HDTV's

I am in need of an HDTV mainly for the purpose of gaming as I need something for my 360 and don't like constantly swithing out cables on my lcd monitor. Looking for something around 22 inches. Mainly I just wanted to know some brands that people have luck with and maybe some to stay away from. Thanks Bombers.

You could get a KMV switch if you don't want to throw down three to four hundred.

Yeah, but It's also a question of space.

My family has a 2 sony hdtv's, and 1 samsueng.

The samsueng has the BEST PICTURE BY FAR. We all love our sansueng.

It also looks the best frame wise, so itll make your room look cool.

At that size, anything you pick will be fine, I think.  Personally, I gravitate toward Sony, LG, and Samsung, but you could get away with a 22" Westinghouse and still have a nice television.

I would say you should go with a Sony Bravia or a Samsung, stay away from those cheap, generic brand HDTV's you seen in Wal-Mart as you will be kicking yourself in the ass latter, the picture quality is much greater on a Sony TV than a Vivo TV of similar resolution and specifications.

I've got a 26" insignia 1080p tv.  It's a perfect size I think.

I have this one, that I use exclusively for my 360, and it is excellent (it's the TV that MLG uses at their tournament events). That Newegg link says that it's a deactivated item, so that may mean that they've been discontinued by the manufacturer, but if you can track one down then it's definitely worth your money. If you can't find one of those, just make sure you find one with a low response time (less than 6ms or so), or else you may see some noticeable input lag. Speaking from experience, even a small amount of delay can be really frustrating/hampering (especially in games like Halo, Street Fighter, CoD, and other games where even small amounts of lag can be very detrimental).

Hope that helps.

I've decided I'll probably be getting a Viewsonic 22" monitor or HDTV. I haven't decided whether I need the TV functionality, but it's definitely going to be from Newegg.

If you can I would really try to upgrade to a 32". I was going to do the same thing, and 22" since it's wide, just seems too small. I have a 32" Vizio. which was really cheap at walmart and is a great tv.

Definitely go with Samsung. I have a Samsung LN32A450 in my dorm room and it's really nice. I also have a 37" Sharp that's good, but I think the Samsung looks better overall. You'll regret going with a cheaper brand in the long run, I guarantee it. You're already spending hundreds of dollars to buy a tv, why not spend just a little bit more and get a quality product?

I can personally vouch for LG. Got a lovely LG HDTV M1994D -- affordable and absolutely gorgeous, best HDTV of that size that I've seen running.

Also note: the resolution on that description is wrong. It is 1680x1050 native.

"Yeah, but It's also a question of space."

I can vouch for LG as well, like some people here did.

When I bought mine, I just went into Best Buy, looked at all of them and said, "I like that LG the best, ring me up for it please."

LG uses some anti-glare coating that makes it extremely non-reflecting of light on the screen.  I actually got it down between a Samsung and LG.  Kept going back and forth... they were both really sweet looking.

That's really the best way to do it, just see how they look for yourself.  Maybe even ask if they can hook-up a 360 to 'em too?

I have a Technika, but I doubt that's an option for you.

Visio and Sanyo have some solid HDTV's out there.

Samsung makes a lot of tv's that size so I would go with that brand.
