What's the best HD tv i could buy for gaming?

Q. I want a 54 inch hdtv
and i want to play xbox 360 on it and playstation 3.
and to also watch movies...from my external hard drive thru my xbox360

thanks in advance!

A. TV size matters. In 37" and smaller you don't need to worry about the high end features because you just won't see them in those sizes. You are clearly going into the sizes where it does matter. So you need to make sure you get the better features.

If you go LCD (which I don't recommend), then you want to look at LED LCD, 1080p resolution, 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate. This will end up being a costly set, but its what you need to deliver a good experience in a TV of that size.

If can save some green, and get a better image, and go with a Plasma. The biggest thing said against Plasmas for gaming is the burn-in factor. That is no longer an issue, and hasn't been for years. But there are lots of uneducated people out there. And the better brands (Panasonic and Samsung) even include extra anti-image retention features, above and beyond the advancements in the technology.

Though with the gaming, I might hold off on that for the first 20-50 hours. And for the first 100-200 hours keep the brightness and contrast (picture) cranked way down. That will condition the Plasma set. After that optimize and enjoy.

LCDs of larger sizes are inherently flawed in fast motion playback. They suffer from motion blur. This is compensated for with 120Hz/240Hz refresh rates. This helps but its not perfect. And you pay a tone for it. Plasma is near instantaneous response time right out of the box, nothing to pay for.

CCFL (most) LCDs have muted colors, grey blacks, and average contrast. This is compensated for with the LED LCD. That greatly improves those issues. But you will pay a massive premium for this feature. And Plasma is better on all fronts right out the box, nothing extra to pay for.

Where is the best place to buy good quality a television for a good price?
Q. Preferably a 40-49 inch, between the price range of $450-$600...

A. I would recommend you to buy it online as if you get from local stores you pay sales tax which can be $55 or more for $600 you spend.

many stores online have $0 shipping and $0 sales tax.
