    Has to be at least 32 inch hdtv.

    720p is fine, i don't really care about the difference offered on a 1080p TV. I will be using it primarily to play games on.

    oh, and i only want to pay between $200-$250

    Go to your local store and pickup the cheapest 32 inch you can find. Considering your budget and requirements it seems like an easy decision.

    Techbargains.com

    Slickdeals.net

    You'll see TVs in your price range there.

    I'm personally partial to Samsung and LG.

    the Toshiba 32L2300U is 32-Inch 720p 120 Hz and it has a 28ms input lag which is good. for about 270.

    I've been doing a lot of research on a new gaming tv and i think i might go with the Panasonic S60 or vizio M401I-A3.

    here are some links to help you

    I wouldn't, but that's just me since I don't really trust refurbished items unless it is a minor defect.

    I would do some more research and you could find a 40 in. For 300. Or if you can wait black Friday or mid Feb would have the best discounts.

    Just found this on amazon:

    Seiki Digital SE32HY10 32-Inch 720p 60Hz LED HDTV for $199

    thanks for looking, i appreciate it.

    only thing is, that brand, 'seiki' seems like one of those off-brand names that aren't very reliable. what do you think?

    or should i just opt with this toshiba for $20 more at $219? its $249 on amazon, but another site has it for $219, but here's the tv on amazon.

    I just bought a Nokknee 40" 3000 LED for $289 -- amazing value for the price.

    ^^ That is actually a really good deal with free shipping included. Add tax though and your looking around $260 which is out of your range but it is worth it. I have all LG TV's in my house and i love them. Mine are much bigger and better than suggested but for your price range, that is a good buy.

    It has a 12.5ms input lag which is phenomenal given the price. It lacks true darkness but it isn't that bad. It's hard to get true darkness on a tv unless you want to spend some cash. It is a great buy for what you want to so with it.

    sorry, not sure what 12.5ms input lag means, you say that is good? does that mean the input lag will be near non-existent, right?

    and what do you mean by true darkness? i may purchase this tv tomorrow.

    That's true, but I'd be a little more comfortable with it being new vs refurbished. It just really makes me nervous.

    If anything I would go with either that toshiba or the LG. I like both brands and they Both have good reviews with similar specs. Can't go wrong with either.

    I'm sorry, but if you are using it to play games on, then 720p to 1080p is a BIG difference. Of course ignore what I said if you are using a ps3 or xbox 360... If however you are gaming on a pc, ps4, xbox one, then I wouldn't want a 720p tv.

    i will be gaming on a ps4, and i don't mind 720p. I played on current gen with an sdtv, and even then some games looked good to me.

    720p will be just fine. I don't really care much for graphics.

    But yeah, i will likely buy the tv tomorrow. What would you guys go for, the toshiba or the LG? need more opinions, will look back tomorrow.
