Q. I am planning to buy a 32" or 37" LCD TV (HDTV), but I am not sure about the best specs. Do you have any brand preferences?
I would like to use the TV occasionally to play games, like with pS2 and XBOX 360/

A. If you're going to be playing video games on it, I don't recommend getting a LCD TV. LCD TV's still aren't quite as good as .. well, anything else in terms of refresh rates. Refresh rates matter anytime fast movements take place (such as video games). The higher the refresh rate, the higher the chance of blurring. Many people don't notice it, but unfortunately I'm not one of those people and it bugs the heck out of me. I was in China/Japan/Taiwan last month and I've seen the latest models of televisions. LCD has certainly come a long way, but it's still not as good as plasma tv's were two years ago. The higher end LCD TVs that don't have as much of a blurring issue but is also as expensive as a car. LCD has it's pluses, higher resolution for example ... but I personally think it stinks for gaming. That's my opinion of course, so I urge you to check out sports on a LCD TV and see if the blurring bothers you.
Here are some websites to help you out.

"Plasma pundits will also tell you that some LCD screens have a tendency to blur images, particularly during fast moving scenes in movies or in sports. While that was true for older generation LCD screens, newer models have improved significantly - so much so that the differences in performance between LCDs and plasmas in this regard is almost negligible (here's a tip -- if you're shopping for LCDs, check the refresh rate. The lower it is, the better the image quality in fast moving scenes)."

"While the "response time" of LCD TVs has markedly improved in the last couple of years, they still suffer from a slight "trailer" effect, where the individual pixels are just slightly out of step with the image on the screen. During fast moving sports scenes, the most discerning eyes can detect this slight motion response lag."

The other answerer was commenting on how the life of a plasma TV is poor. That's simply not true anymore. Do your own research on that matter, this hasn't been an issue for quite some time now. Don't believe what he says about being an idiot for buying a plasma. People who say that can't see the difference in image quality, perhaps their attention to detail is lacking .. who knows. He has very strong opinions towards plasma tvs and hybrid cars, those are exactly the wrong people to listen to. Keep an open mind. For the record, I have a HDTV CRT, Plasma TV, and three LCD TVs (all larger than 32'') .. they all have their purpose. The LCD TVs are great for connecting to computers, they have high resolutions. For watching TV, nothing beats CRT and Plasma... yet.

What is the best 32 inch HDTV for Gaming?
Q. I am getting a 32 inch for college, and I play xbox alot in my downtime, i dont really watch alot of tv, just game. What would be the best HDTV for gaming in the 32 inch class?
A. Samsung, with at least 120 hz. refresh rate.... I would stay away from Sony, they are having issues with many new models being returned or replaced... You may still get lag from any LCD/LED while playing games, due to the slow response time of those type TV's.. Plasma is good and fast, but not available in that size..
