Default Hdtv

Hi ya,

Looking into buying a HDTV maybe 37" but so many choices don't have a wall to mount on looking at ebuyer found this...


Prestigio P370DVD 37" HD LCD TV Black & Silver 1366x768 800:1 4:3, 16:9 500cd/m2 8ms

What you think using it play dvds watch tv and well play the xbox 360.

The 1080i/p? All I think I have do is switch cable to HDTV and plug the hdtv cables in...I hope

The difference between 1080I is noticeable, so dont lie, its bound not to be on Xbox 360, because thats 720P.

Good tv though... imo, as times have moved on in the past 8 months, all lcd, plasma HS TV's are good atleast ok, i shouldnt think there are any 'bad' ones, just some reallly good ones
