|  TV or Monitor?
I want to play my xbox, my ps3, and my PC (soon to be built). The pc will be a mid-range setup, not for advanced gaming.
I think i want something in the 26" range, any recommendations?
Thanks. |

You can grab Vizio 32" 1080i HDTV's for very affordable prices! I use mine for my PS3, 360, and Wii, and I may use it as a monitor temporarily once I setup my new system. It has all the connections you need (2 HDMI, 2 Component, S-video, DVI, VGA) and is very good quality! I got mine for about $550. It's about the best deal you will find and is the same price or close to most 26" TV's.
I think Walmart was having a special on these recently so you may want to look into it!

i got a 32 inch 1080i olevia for 430, but trust me, youll want a 1080p. Im using mine on my comp and on xbox 360, but on computer, at 720p, everything is huge becuase of the lower res but bigger screen. I sold that and went to a 42inch 1080p and couldent be happier. The new one cost me a grand

Walmart? What about circuit city? and do you think protection plans are worth it?
