Best option for HDTV LCD Monitor?

[MetaRidley42]

I am trying desperately to find a budget (Preferably south of $300) HDTV that can let me play my Xbox 360 in glorious High Definition, as well as serve as a LCD monitor for the laptop I will purchase for college soon.

A integrated digital tuner would be nice, as I do not have HD through cable or satellite.

Right now I am stuck between this HDTV set:

And trying to jury-rig this monitor with a box that would let me play my 360:

Is there a decent priced external box that can receive digital broadcasts over the air and let me connect my 360 in HD?

Furthermore, even thought that HDTV from walmart looks a little............cheap........

Would it be the best option because it is all together?

My 360 is a model without HDMI, so that TV's lack of HDMI is not a deal-breaker for me.

Any help and tips would be appreciated.

Peace.

You got it. I only noticed this more appropriate area after I posted.



I'll be more careful in the future.

Now, can anyone help me with my predicament?

Small LCD TVs are around $400

I'd be dubious of any LCD TV as a monitor.
Do you have any stores in your area where you can actually see one used as a monitor ?
