I am not the best at judging HD-TV and I was wondering if I ya'll could be so kind to help me find the best tv out of the ones I listed. It would mean a lot to me. Here is a list of a ton of HD's I am interested in please help me find which is the best fit for XBOX 360 and watching TV.

Sharp

Toshiba's

26HLC56 26" LCD TV (Toshiba-26HLC56) - PriceGrabber.com

ViewSonic

Buy.com - ViewSonic 32'' LCD HDTV 1000:1 HDMI Analog/Digital with Speakers - Black - N3251W

I believe that these are the best prices but feel free to see if you can find a better price. The main concern is which will give me the best quality out of the ones listed. Thanks

The links work for me.

I'd stay away from the viewsonic one. The models I have seen were all washed out. I am also not a fan of the Toshiba model either.

The second sharp model you have there has the best contrast ratio. All things being equal between the the Sharp models, that's what I would base my decision on.

Do you think it is a good tv in general?

For general purposes yes. You'll have a lot of HDTV snobs picking them apart, but for watching general dramas and sitcoms I think you'll be satisfied.

The size is the only thing that concerns me. 26" is pretty small on a 16:9 widescreen. Probably smaller than a 19" standard definition TV.
