HD TV INFO
Playing your Xbox 360 without an HDTV is like wading in a kiddie pool. You might be technically swimming depending on how shallow the pool is and how careful you are about keeping water from running over the edge, but it's still no comparison to doing laps in an Olympic sized swimming pool. Maybe we're being too harsh. We're not saying the Xbox 360's regular picture is eye-stabbingly ugly, it's still better than a normal Xbox, but the HD 720p resolution offers twice as much detail as a normal resolution television. Once you go HD, there's no going back.

Your mantra into the HDTV world should be, "Give me 720p." The Xbox 360 renders all games natively at 720p, so it's only natural that everything coming out of the 360 looks great at that resolution. Since all of us aren't made out of piles of money, your next best bet is to get a display that supports 480p or 1080i.

CRTS
Direct-view is how industry insiders refer to any television that doesn't use projection technology. Most of them are the familiar tube TVs you see everywhere--they're called tubes because the glass forms the business end of a cathode-ray tube (CRT). Direct-view tube TVs can be found in sizes up to 36 inches diagonal, and as their screen sizes increase, so does their heft and depth. Sony's 34-inch KD-34XBR960, for example, tips the scales at nearly 200 pounds, measures 24 inches deep, and requires a minimum of two--and probably three--burly guys to lift it onto a stand. Because of size and weight issues, it doesn't pay for companies to make larger tube TVs; they simply aren't practical.

High-end tube TVs can give a great-looking picture. CRTs are still the kings of black level, a term used to describe the quality and the depth of black and other very dark colors. Direct-view tube sets look good from any angle, so the picture quality doesn't change depending on where you sit. These TVs can also easily last 10 years before experiencing a noticeable drop in picture quality.
On the cheaper end of the spectrum, you can easily pick up a solid CRT monitor for well under $200. The screen won't be as large as a conventional TV, but the clarity and image quality will be very hard to top. Samsung's 19-inch SyncMaster 997MB provides all the resolutions you'll ever need with a super-low .20mm dot pitch. If you really want to save some cash, check out the classifieds. People are dumping more than passable CRT monitors at insanely low prices, sometimes even as low as $15.

LCDs
Flat LCDs are extremely popular in screen sizes below 37 inches, thanks to their stylish looks, and the fact they can fit just about anywhere. Larger LCDs (sizes up to 57 inches have been announced) remain quite expensive compared to plasma and rear-projection models. Not coincidentally, the smallest plasmas are 37 inches.

The picture quality of LCD has historically suffered from poor black levels, but the latest versions are much improved, if not quite up to the best plasmas. LCDs cannot achieve a true black, since there's always some light leaking through the pixels. Color saturation is also generally inferior to plasma, again as a result of the inability to completely blacken (turn off) the pixels. Light leakage affects the purity of the color.

Viewing angle is another weakness of LCD compared to plasma. When watching from an angle far from the sweet spot right in front of the TV, LCDs display brightness and color shifts. In comparison, plasmas look equally good from very wide angles. On the other hand, LCDs will generally have higher native resolution than plasmas of the same size, leading to better detail with HD and computer sources.
On the smaller end of the spectrum, LCD computer monitors offer an extra avenue upon which to travel. If you can live with sub-20-inch screen sizes, you can find numerous options that can use the Xbox 360's VGA output. Cramped spaces like bedrooms or dorm rooms benefit from a dual-input LCD like Dell's 20.1 widescreen UltraSharp 2005FPW.
