Since getting an xbox 360 i have been wanting to upgrade for a while from my pc monitor and finally dedided its time.

However i have a tight budget so finding a reasonably good quality one is quite hard. I need to have VGA input, 1080i output, and hdmi is preferable also.

I did find a reasonably decent buy from amazon which was the Sony Bravia KDL32S2510U. but when looking at the colour of the tv itself it said blue grey and to be honest i wanted a black tv.

If anyone has this tv i would be grateful if you let me know whether it really is blue grey or if its just grey and in any case other reccomendations for 32" lcd's under £550 would be great.

I don't think anyone makes a 'True' 1080 less than 37". This Toshy has had good reviews and it's piano black and the cheapest I could find at £680.

im not bothered about true hd 1080p because sky hd is in 1080i and the xbox 360 can only produce up to 1080i.

im also not going to be getting a nex gen dvd player for a long time yet and i'm not going to buy a ps3 and seeing as they are the main mediums that produce 1080p i don't need a 1080p tv.

In any case many 1080i sets will accept 1080P signals, and if not, surely the DVD player can be set to output 1080i? or 720P?.

It's a bargain from Dabs, it costs £650 in Comet.

This one (M8 Series) has far superior picture, 100Hz however it is slightly over budget @ £595 but you may find it cheaper with some searching.

I like that one but on the specifications it said for "widescreen option" - No. does this actually mean its not widescreen because the tv's shape looks pretty widescreen to me.

I have recently bought the Sony Bravia KDL40S2510U, and to be honest it's more dark grey to black with a silver band running around the edges,but it's agreat tv !!!!
