Hey guys, my tv finally arrived this morning, haven't even opened the box, it is a Hitachi LCD 42" Full High-Definition TV, i just have a few questions, the resolution is 1920x1080 - Does that mean 1080p?

 Would this Tv be good for my games?, is there anything i need to buy?

Here is the link -

Help would be greatly appreciated.

 P.S i got this TV for free off a work Client, that's why i dont know alot about it.

 

Cheers, Jess.

 Dude, its RRP is like $3000. Of course it'll be good for games!!!!

Like ShastaMasta said, you NEED component cables for the Wii. An HDMI cable for the Xbox360 as well (hint: HDMI is a digital signal, so don't buy the $300 cable that the Harvey Norman guy will try to push on you, just buy a short 1-3 metre length cheap one)

 I've got a 720p, 42" plasma and everything looks amazing on that. Most people would consider that a crap gaming television, but they would be wrong.

 Trust me, any name brand new generation LCD or plasma will be excellent for gaming. Just make sure you sit at least 2 metres away, otherwise it might seem pixellated for any non-1080 games you play (which is like all of them!!!)
