first of all why are you the one paying for the entire tv? 2nd what would you be using this for?  Just be a little more specific so people can answer it better.

Well im paying for it because it would be too expensive to ask for for my birthday or Christmas. (anyways i bought my own 60gb ps3). Also i mainly want this for Gaming, but will be used for HDTV show veiwing in the future.

Well I have a budget of about $600-$800, so I'm trying to decide between these TV's:

32 in. TV: http://www.vizio.com/products/detail.aspx?pid=18

37 in. TV: http://www.vizio.com/products/detail.aspx?pid=26

I would probably want to see the TV first hand before I bought it if I were you.

Nearly all of my songs are made with Fruity Loops, except for one where I used Reason. I recommend looking at my ambient stuff, and staying away from old songs, which are pretty crappy.

Against a samsung one at the local Best Buy, all of the Vizio's looked like major terrible shit.  Im not making an understatement either.

BUY AS MANY LONG TERM BIG THINGS AS YOU CAN WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG!

I still use the TV, entertainment center, and futon I bought way back when.  Great investments.

I strongly recommend an Olevia 32 inch LCD from CircuitCity or any other retailer.  CC runs them on sale for $550 all time time.  All HD sources look great on it and analog isn't too bad either.  I love mine to death.

My TV is 10 years old.  :-[

Man, I used to have a TV that was older than me in my room. My dad purchased it probably at like 1987, and I was 1990, so it was used for about 20 years until the light bulb went out... amazing.

Maybe mine is older than 10. It was not my father who purchased it, It's my grandfather!!!.  and it still working perfect but only has AV in/out :P
