 | Samsung LN32A650 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color
With your new HD-ready video game console, you need to get an HDTV! You won't regret it... Especially since smaller details and tiny or scrunched text are very hard to see on old TVs.
This is my favorite mid-sized LCD screen, but you should shop around and decide on what kind of HDTV you want.
