Hi all, I've been looking into buying an LCD TV for a long time and I think I finally found a winner. I am not afraid to admit that I'm only familiar with "buzz" terminology for the most part though, which is why I posted here. I saw this particular LG model on sale at BB for $500 and only have one more day to decide before it goes back to regular price!

More detailed specs
Primary uses would include:
-Use in apartment bedroom to watch TV (haven't decided if I will be getting an HD box)
-Hooking up XBOX (use fairly frequently)
-Possibly hooking up desktop PC and using as a monitor
-Eventually adding a Blu-Ray drive to PC and using that as well
I guess i'm mainly torn between 720p and 1080p because I've heard that 1080p is "vastly" better for using a TV as a computer monitor. Another concern I have is for the XBOX, the composite "HD" cables that come with it allow it to display 720p resolution, would an HDMI cable increase image quality at 720p? Or would that be senseless?
THANKS!!!
