Guide to the Best HDTVs for your Xbox 360

Nowadays, gamers often find themselves stuck with a next-gen system and an old TV set. How can they afford a PS3 and not own a kick a*s TV...? Anyway, that's why moving to the next-gen era includes the purchase of newer devices, among which an HDTV. As such, we've made available this list of HDTVs to choose from, in order of picture quality. Xbox 360 owners and future purchasers of one of the items listed below are advised to calibrate their new HDTV using a copy of DVE or AVIA. This applies to any HDTV.

Definition: High-definition television (HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with greater resolution than traditional television systems (NTSC, SECAM, PAL). HDTV is digitally broadcast, because digital television (DTV) requires less bandwidth if sufficient video compression is used.
