Budget HD TV

[molineux1980]

I have an Xbox 360, but i'm currently squinting at hard to read text on a 14" portable CRT. Any recommendations for a budget HDTV? 19" is big enough, any bigger and the restrictive space I have for gaming will make me feel like i'm wearing it! Digital ready would be great, but i'm on a very limited budget. Any suggestions? Ta.

How much budget wise?

[molineux1980]

Up to £150 ish? I know it won't get me great quality, but need a front end overhaul on my Mini too so the budget is been chomped up by rust!

What sort of PC monitor do you use? The 360 can be used on those too.

PC Monitor is a good idea, all you need to do is get youself a VGA cable and thats it up and running.

This looks to me like a pretty nice buy, always liked the Samsung TV's!

My PC is older than me and its a crappy old CRT monitor. I really need to 'tech up'!

Richer Sounds is a fantastic place when you're on a budget.
I just bought a 32" Sony Bravia LCD for £340

Seen adverts for 22" widescreen pc monitors for around 100 quid... probably exceeds the resolution you need though.

I use the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen monitor with my PC and Xbox 360. I've had it for just over a year and a half now and it's perfectly fine for gaming and general PC usage.

One thing to remember if you go the monitor route is that you will need some speakers, if you already have PC speakers just use them, if not I can recommend the Creative GigaWorks T20.

You will also need the VGA cable for the xbox 360, Microsoft do one as do a few other companies.

You would need to join the richer sounds 'vip' club to be eligible for this offer (if interested).

Good luck.
