Either a Samsung 23 or 26. On the web they are around 500 or 610.

so in reality you've got to spend around £1000 (LCD and 360) to truly experience 'Next Gen'?

In a word yes you will probably need to change your TV if you want the full HD experience, thats if you don't have a HDTV already.

I've got mine hooked up to my pc monitor (http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=s...0&title=741485)for now looks alot better then my TV but project gotham gets letter boxed when racing no big deal really, and far cheaper than buying a widescreen 32" samsung.

It's not that your telly is bad fms, it's that it's analogue vs HD-TV, I've seen one set up in a shop with HDTV / Surround sound, playing a demo of GR3 which was pretty impressive.

Get the advanced scart cable for the time being ( if you can find one ) 100 times better than the cr4ppy thing they ship it with... Your picture will be instantly improved ( assuming your TV has an RGB scart socket that is )

firstly you wont experience next gen gaming too much with a std tv but you will in time. dont forget the xbox360 is only using about 1/4 - 1/3 of its capabilities, in another year or so it'll look twice as good even on a normal TV....
