Reccommendation for kids bedroom TV

[Luggs]

Hi all, was hoping for some help and suggestions for a birthday present for my 9 yr old son. His uncle has given him his old Xbox 360 and much fighting has ensured between the kids over cartoons/Wii/Xbox priority...

So looking for a decent sized TV for his bedroom to play Minecraft on. Was thinking 32" would be ideal, but then saw him and his mates trying to play with the screen split in 4. I now have a nasty suspicion I may have to up the budget

Also seems to be massive difference in price between known brands and brands I have never heard of before. For an occasional use TV, would a cheap unbranded TV be wise?

I doubt I am the first/last person to face a similar situation, so any & all suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks for the reply lucid, appreciate it. Do you think the better performance will be noticeable for things like Minecraft? I guess he may watch a some TV programmes occasionally, but it will mostly be gaming.

I can almost buy a 40" no-name TV for same price as quality brand 32". When splitting the screen into 4, I think the extra real-estate will definitely help out. But then I guess you gets what you pays for in life...

(Sorry if noob questions, life-long PC gamer, never had a console in the house before!)

Aye, i'll take a look at 37" - 40" mid-range brands first, if he wants top-end he can pay for it himself...
