Upon further research I had found this TV, which seems to be in about the same class as the Sony and Samsung. You can see it here at Circuit City: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Panasonic-30-HDTV-Monitor-CT-30WX15-/sem/rpsm/oid/120400/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
So, I'm going to throw that into the ring with the other two TVs.
I appreciate any info or advice anyone has.
Thanks,

I'm looking into getting an HDTV about 30-inches (cause of the price). After some research, it seems that I have found two that appear to be what I want. One is the Sony KV-30HS420, found here: http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_KV_30HS420/4505-6481_7-30895537.html?tag=txt
The other TV is the Samsung TX-R3079WH, found here: http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_TX-R3079WH/4505-6481_7-31420321.html
The Sony is about $900 and the Samsung is about $1000.
My biggest questions about which one to get are whether they will be capable of doing what I plan to use them for. Which ever comes first for me, I want them to be able to fully utilize the capabilities of either the PS3 or the XBox360. I'm also wondering how they would work with the current generation of consoles.
The only other thing I'm wondering about is whether they will work with HD-channels. If I understand correctly, the Sony TV will require an HD-tuner.
I appreciate any advice, info, and/or input.
Thanks,
Jon
