Tvs for gaming

I have spent a few hours trying to find a new TV for my living room and shit there really is a jungle out there...

I want a 32-42" with good qualities for movies and games.
I play a lot of Wii games and view standard DVD´s so full HD is not that important.

Now I´m trying to create a list of TVs.
When I find a TV, I first use the www.testfreaks.com to check what reviewers have thought about it, then I compare prices on www.pricerunner.se
I plan to bring the list to a store so I can compare their images myself.

Maybe I overdo this? It will only end with me keeping my old TV since it is impossible to find anything perfect.

Definitely

I guess you are after the cheapest price/performance combo?

One thing that you should also take into account is the time you spend looking and how valuable that is to you.

I myself often use 250sek/h as a rule of thumb.

and oh... gaming is spelled gaming (not gameing) I have changed this...

There's no such thing

..as overdoing it Laughing out loud

I spent a good 3 months looking for my tv and I'm really happy. It delivered what I expected for the money I spent.

When you're paying 10k+ it's no fun being disappointed and regret the purchase..

I definitely agree... but

I definitely agree... but there must be a limit to it Smiling I guess in the gadgets business 3 months could be a looong time and specs and prices change...

anyway... fyi dtoll has bought a TV so we need not worry that he spends all his time looking for one. Sticking out tongue It was nice, some kind of 37" Phillips i think, with a lot of stickers on it.

Now the only thing left is to mount it on the wall, ho ho ho

Philips 37´´

So I finally bought a TV and it is mounted to the wall, I think the image is great except for analog TV.

I have played some Wii games on it and the image is really OK, But some games have really jagged edges.

An unexpected side effect is that I have started to use the Opera web browser on the Wii, it works really nice and is much faster than starting the computer. I don't recommend using it for writing intense surfing (unless you have a USB keyboard)

I´m thinking of buying the Wii component cable...
