[quote name='klezmer41']I was hoping to not spend $2,500 on a TV. What are other people doing for a display HD enough for a 360 or PS3? You can't tell me everybody is just going to costco and dropping at least a grand on a TV. Where are kids getting their money these days?![/QUOTE]
"HD enough for the PS3"-- if by that you mean 1080p, then you will be up in upper-1000s-$2000.
There are cheaper ($700 and below) LCDs right now. I wouldn't recommend going for any of them though. I tried getting a cheap LCD (an olevia) and while HD looked great, SD looked like ass. no exaggeration. So I just found a cheap CRT HD monitor on Craig's list, which I'll hold on to until some of the newer HDTV technology comes out or when some high quality LCDs drop in price. it seems like all the low end HDTVs perform very poorly in some ways, though HD may look good.
It's tempting to go HD right now with these new-fangled systems, but imo, it would be better to wait, unless you are willing to drop 2 grand on a tv.
