Xbox360 and Monitor

Snowman723 · 04-15-2007, 12:52 PM

I am looking for a good HD LCD Monitor for use with the Xbox360 that I hope to soon possess

Any recommendations? Would widescreen be best? I'd say budget is like $200-$300 CAD

you need a bigger budget. The best way to find a TV is to go in the store and look at it. You can get a general guide of what models you want to focus on by looking at online ratings from sites like Cnet and PCmag, but I am a firm believer in never buying a TV you haven't seen in action.

If you want something that'll look awesome you'll need $600+ to spend.

Not necessariy. You can get a decent LCD monitor for under $300. It might not be HDTV quality but close. SOme of the computer LCD monitors are HD but the biggest you'll find I believe is 24 inches. I have a 22" wide screen that is HD that I use at work and it would be perfect for a console if your playing by yourself.
