Budget Game TV?

Hey all,

I don't like wasting my bulb by playing games on my PJ and my other TV is on its last legs. Can anyone recommend a good and relatively cheap TV that would be primarily for game use?

Here’s what I’d like:
Widescreen (I'm flexible on this since I don't have a 360)
Doesn’t have to be HD
Above 27”
Under $400

I know I may be asking the impossible with my price limit, but one can dream.

I have not looked at regualar TVs in so long and I have no idea what advances, differences, etc are out there. Any help would be great.

Thanks
-PH

its not a wonderful TV, but Philips is the cheapest widescreent CRT's ive seen. they a 30 inch widescreen TV thast comes in at 699.99 which is over what you said. I thought someone made a 26 in widescreen but i cant find it.

Found it, its Toshiba that makes one and it comes in at 550

Now for the range your talking about i would go with this or this
I prefer samsung for my TV needs, but for the price range your talking, i like either of these. i have had my 34in Widescreen Panasonic for almost a year and have no complaints about it, so for your money, it is a little cheaper, at around 329.99

i didnt go above but its at 27 inches, best i could do, look online for a 30inch widescreen, might get lucky, ebay seemed pretty cheap when i looked
