OK, my wife and I don't watch much TV, so my large one is for TV and I got the small, college-dorm one for my X-Box and it ain't cutting it anymore.
So, anyone know a good, cheap HDTV for gaming? I know jack and shit about HDTV because I don't watch much other than the Discovery Channel and I'm primarily a PC gamer anyways. We're not hurting for cash, we're just cheap and hate debt (I've got no credit card debt at all).
Was leaning twords this:

Unfortunately I don't have many good recommendations for monitors. I'd suggest hitting up New Egg and searching based on the reviews, as well as your desired screensize and price point. You can get a decent-ish monitor for ~$200 or less.
Just remember you'll need a separate set of speakers if you do go this route. Usually you wind up settling for a smaller screen compared to a TV, but I always sit much closer to a monitor.

Wow, thanks. Seriously.
I plan to play about 6-7 feet away so the 720p, 32 incher in the OP works perfectly.

Vizio is a good brand for a great price. They are a great way to get a good TV without breaking the bank. I have been looking around, as I too am looking for a better TV and stat for stat Vizio's are pretty comprable to Sony or Phillips - but usually several hunderd dollars less expensive, and you don't sacrifice picture quality to get it.
Take a look on Tigerdirect.com - They have had the best deals that I have been able to find, sometimes if you catch the right deal they even do free shipping.
