yea i just learned today that it is actually kinda hard to get screen burn in now a days. black font on white background for 2 straight hours might do it, otherwise its getting better.

I think i'd probably save that money and look at moving out of your parents place before I dropped that kind of cash on an expensive display

Anyways, for smaller displays, the Sharp Aquos are phenomenal.

i own a 32 inch Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV. I've owned it for over a year. I don't remember the model number, and I don't own a PS3 or 360. However, I have borrowed my friends 360 and it looked very good on my TV at 1080i. I use it mostly for HD sports and movie channels, and the picture quality is good, although I've noticed that bright reds and oranges are not rendered 100% crisp.

toshiba & hitachi are the only hdtvs i would buy.

I personally have a 50" DLP Toshi

stay away from plasma, there are some newer technolgies coming out to surpass the plasma market. From what i understand plasma can't really go forward as far as technology goes, it is what it is.

If you are going to buy a tv for gaming, you should go to a DLP. They have much better contrast ratios(more vivid pictures), and usually faster refresh rates (anything over 8ms is too slow). I have a 50" Samsung DLP, which is awesome. You shouldn't be worrying about viewing angles unless you don't like sitting in front of your tv when watching it...

Just make sure you get a tv with at least 2 hdmi ports, seeing you have the 360 and ps3.

I would recommend Samsung, as a few friends of mine have the 42" of my tv. None of us have ever had any problems in the 1-2 years we've owned them.
