Xbox 360 and LCD

I have a 32 inch 720p LG TV, and I am wanting to buy a XBOX 360 soon. I am almost sure I am going to get a falcon premium one with the hdmi connection. However, I noticed considerable lag with my original xbox on this tv (like playing a baseball game, the pitching meter would stop like 2 seconds after I clicked the button). My question is: Will the 360 behave this way as well? Would it be better to just play on a CRT? I am also in the market for a 24 inch 1080p LCD monitor so I'm also wondering if that will work better.

Ok, should a monitor with around a 5 ms response time do the trick?

Go for a 24" with 1920x1200 resolution, if you can get something with both a HDMI and VGA (or DVI) input. That way you can hook up both your xbox 360 and pc to the 1 screen.

The upcomgin upcoming Fall update adds 1920x1200 support to the xbox

Ummm...me and all my friends have LCD's, and we've never had an issue with lag with a console, 360 or otherwise...Lag isn't the TV's fault.

First thing i'd do if i were you is actually get the 360 and see if you're happy with the picture. If not i would invest in a decent Samsung LCD, the new 6 series are fantastic for the price and have great response times. In my opinion they're the best bang/buck TVs on the market at the moment.

However my 52" Pioneer Kuro 1080p is just the Dog's proverbials. Worth every penny.

Sound is a little bit tougher if you're going to be running a monitor as opposed to a television, but you have two options. Either buy a speaker system/receiver that supports optical input, or you can use an older stereo system that utilizes the old red and white rca audio inputs. Either one will be fine, but to back track a bit, I think the box is best experienced on an HDTV.

Newer, and older for that matter, LCDs shouldn't have any lag problems with displaying video game content from a console. I'm unfamiliar with LG's HDTV lineup, but every Sony and Samsung I've ever used, and I've used a few, works very well with the 360. Instead of pumping money into a smaller monitor and relying on shoddy built in speakers or purchasing an aftermarket audio solution you should just buy a decent HDTV. Preferably one that supports full 1080p resolutions. Can't go wrong with that.

If you're satisfied with only a 52" screen.
