-Ever-

So my 7+ year old 27inch Sony Trinitron tv just died on me and I don't have hopes of having it fixed.

I use my TV mainly for watching DVD's and for playing few XBOX video games. I'll be watching some general cable TV (the news, discovery, etc.) with it as well.

I've seen TV's of this size from anywhere between $100 and $1,500. I guess I'm just looking for some recomendations in the sub $450 area, more towards the $350 if possible.

I don't think I need high definition, unless HD-ready tv's affect DVD viewing.

One thing that bugs me is that I can easily see the "square-ish pixels" of most tube TV's. I don't mind this, however I saw a nice TV yesterday in Good Guys that didn't have this at all. The only difference I could see was that it was High Definition, but I don't think this would have affected it (they were playing a DVD). Either way, the image was comparable to a clean, clear plasma or LCD image, not your usual pixelated tube image. Does anyone know what technology brings this, and if it can be had in the price range that I'm looking in?

Thanks for any info guys. These are the only questions I can think of, so feel free to bring anything else to my attention.

Take care
