everyone has their priorities and interests, ckmlb

I'll probably be using 480i until HD's sucessor comes out myself, I'd avoid LCD's and Plasma's like the plague, and I want a $250 or less price point for 32".

Holy crap dude. You arent planning on buying a TV in the next 20 years! What brand TV do you that will last that long without needing replaced?!

My TV is 25 years old. It's an RCA. TVs can last quite a long time, frankly. I honestly didn't know anyone replaced their TVs every 5 years until I came here.]

Edit: Just so no one freaks and says: "how can you play games on a 25 year old tv?" It's not totally by choice: it was mine growing up, so I kept it rather than upgrade for now. I'd prefer to spend my expendable income on computer upgrades. It's only been mine-mine, as opposed to technically-my-parents-but-I-use-it-mine, for about a year and a half. I'll upgrade within the next couple years, but TV quality has never been a huge deal to me, probably because I didn't grow up in a house that cared about it.

 Actually seeing that, now I can understand a few more things about you.

First, the Wii wont even look it's best on a TV like that.
Secnd, The extra detail the PS3 has over the Wii wont be seen.
Third, I would be in the market for a new TV.  I've never seen a 1982 model TV look better than even the first generation of LCD  TVs. The new ones make the first gen LCDs look horrible. You should look into buying a new TV. I say upgrade at least ever ~5years(Or pay someone to come in and focus your TV for ~200$). But with the new LCD's I'd maybe up that number to 10.

CRT TVs looks their focus over the years, no matter how well they were made, and need to be re-focused. My father-in-law has a 15 year old Rear Projector, and I have trouble reading text on it. (And he has it setup the best it can do)
