I have also been doing research on TV's in order to find the perfect TV for my Xbox 360 and I finaly settled on the exact one you are planning on getting (well, the 50 inch version anyway). By the way, the Xbox 360 now supports 1080P resolution due to an upgrade from Xbox live. All of the reports I have read about Samsungs HL-s87w series TVs say it and the 360 were made for each other.
