Monitor or LCD TV

I currently have my 360 hooked up to a 65inch DLP Hdtv. i dont like it. for FPS its no good. i also have a 22inch crt monitor i use for gaming on my PC. I was wondering if purchasing the sony bravada 32 inch for xbox would be the best bet or just hook it up to my monitor. My computer has one of the best video cards on the market and looks great. If my 360 is going to look as good as my computer then ill just use my monitor. Please let me know how it looks with the VGA Cables. thanks!

What's the brand and model of your DLP?

Burn in isn't a big deal today. It can be rid of and if you break in your plasma properly you won't burn it in.

Beat it with a baseball bat. I have had great success with this method. J/k but to prevent burn in just make sure you don't leave the game paused for a while. My lcd came with an auto dimmer after like 5 mins it dims which makes no sense because it's an lcd which don't burn, but the manual said it could.

my tv is a toshiba theaterwide. it ghosts on racing games and fps. pisses me off. I've already shelled out like $700 bucks for the 360 (console, wifi, games, etc). Dont know if i want to go sony lcd or my crt monitor. My girl was pissed when i came home with the 360. Shes gonna love me even more when she sees me walk in with another hdtv! Better to ask forgiveness then permission, right?

burn in occurs when an object/shape/color stays on a screen for too long it actually burns onto the screen. when you play video games the screen changes hundres of times per minute when you move, but your life bar might still be on the top left of the corner for the entire game. That little life bar might burn into the plasma screen so it is visible when your watching DVD's, TV, etc. and will not be covered under warrantee
