Xbox 360 prenium or Philips 200WC6? help me choose...

[alexandroua]

I have about 450-500 euros to burn and am between xbox360 and 20" widescreen monitor. Eventually am gona get both (The philips will be use with xbox aswell).

I heard that xbox360 prices would take a while to drop (around christmas or most likely november --> ps3 release time), so it wont make a any difference if i buy it now.

19"< LCD monitors they have a constanly price drop. So as long as i wait, monitos would get cheaper.

I can get the xbox for 399eu and the philips 450-500eu.

Any recomendations?
Exuse my crappy eng.

well, i currently have a sony trinitron tv 29" at 100Hz. On friday am selling my laptop for about 500 pounds, meaning that i would have about 800pounds to spend . I was looking forward buying the Philips one and then adding an external tv tuner on it, so that i could make some room in my bedroom (minus the crt TV).

Can i get HDTV + xbox360 for 800pounds??? If yes that would be fantastic... Could point me to some good HDTVs 26".

Thanks for the help...

Well after reading some posts on this forum and some other reviews, i have finally decided that i am going to buy the following HDTV

LG TV LCD 16/9 26" (66 cm) "HD ready" 26LX2R

Is a bit off my budget, but the xbox would have to wait for another 3 weeks or so.

The above tv, has HDMI and DVI connection for the pc. I have read that i would be able to use it as a pc monitor as well, just as a mormal monitor.

Basically is a pc monitor with a tv tuner. Is this statement true???

By the way, i have found another model

Samsung TV LCD 16/9 26" (66cm) "HD ready" LE26R51

And it has about 5% lower price that the LG one.

What would you guys get bewteen these two HDTVs?

They both have the same resolution. Both have a responce time of 8ms.
The samsung one doesnt have a DVI connection. The LG one has a contrast of 1200 : 1 and the Samsung one 3000 : 1.

So which one?
