Looking for a HDTV 26" to play Xbox 360, for about £300-£400?

f1d · 01-05-2008, 10:40

Hey all,

Already have a 26" samsung at the moment, but I'm getting a little pissed with everything keep 'burning' into the screen, usually if I leave it on there for 5 mins or less usually! (It is only temp though).

That and ghosting, I just figure the TV is getting old? (Got it 2005).

Was looking to spend about £300, can go to £400.

Any recommendations, as I have no idea where to start? Samsung? LG? Sony?

Been looking at the TV's from Argos (are they any good?) as they are easier for me to pick up at the moment (no courier delivery to Uni!).

All info gratefully received

I would recommend a Sony Bravia - http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...V/Product.html

The LG 26 inch LCD is rather good, 1080p too.

I wouldn't worry too much about 1080p. On a screen that size you'd need to be sat about with your nose touching it to see the difference between 720 and 1080 resolution .....

Most of them should be OK though. I use a 40" Sony Bravia in the living room .... which my 360 is normally connected to. I also have a little cheapo 19" Goodmans in the bedroom and I was surprised just how good the 360 looked on that (running 720p through HDMI) ....
