My first HD-TV... advice please??

[MIDI_EVIL]

Well I am looking into getting my first HDTV. Now, primarily it will be used to watch TV and play XBOX 360.

I was scouring Amazon for around 23"-26" models as that's about the size and cost i'm after.

Here are a few that I picked up...

This one below is of more interest to me as i've never heard of Viewpia

I am currently in the market for a HDTV and I am going for a 32" Widescreen Samsung LCD HDTV I think its a great tv and it comes in a 26 inch model.

New 2007 Samsung T Series Are Starting To Reach The Market

If you want new with latest tech including a third HDMI input on the side, check out the new Samsung T models. The Letter T in their model numbers mean 2007 new. Last year's models are all "S" in the numbers. 2007 contrast ratios are larger than ever and most have 3 HDMI inputs now.

Thanks for the tip Multimedia, but can you give me an example of a new 2007 model number?

Yes i'm looking at flat screen.

Also, is it worth extra £££ to go to 1080 over just 720?

It's primarily to play XBOX 360.

For me, 1080p is only worth it if you are getting a 40inch or bigger TV.

Also those TVs you linked to are very over priced. If you can, I would try and get a TV from John Lewis (they will price match any real world shop and have 5 years warranty as standard). But even if you don't buy from them, I would check the TVs out there since they are one of the few stores that sets them up properly so you can do a decent compare.

Oh wow, that's some really good advice.

Thank you!

Do you have a model to recommend?

Get a Sony BRAVIA. I have a 26'' one, got it from B&H for $699, and the picture is amazing. Sony definitely makes the best HDTVs.

FWIW, I have a Sony LCD tv, and very happy with it. I would suggest the Sony.
