Basically, I'm trying to figure out which TV, greater than 30", would be
best for video game play.

The most important factor is a set which is not going to burn in easily...I
wouldn't mind just turning the TV off for every hour of gameplay to prevent
this.

It seems that a rear projection TV would be best, as I don't like DLPs
history of replacing bulbs and Plasma's realtive burn-in ease.

Any suggestions???

There's the westinghouse 37" LCD panel with 1920x1080 60hz resolution.

Works great with PC's. Just plug and play DVI.

Not the top of the class for DVD's, but supposedly a great PC monitor
and game machine.

Lots of threads at AVSforum.com, some game pix too. Half-Life2 looks
pretty cool.
