Should I get more PS3 games or my own TV???

Question

I just bought the MGS4 PS3 bundle and I'm looking to get more games, but my parents are already complaining about me using their TV. I really would like my own tv but I don't know if it's worth it. I'm looking at the new(brand new, not even on the site yet) 22" AOC lcd hdtv. It's only $299. It has very impressive specs. But then there is also a new ASUS which is introducing the world's slimmest 22" with amazing specs too for only $350. Both of these tv's are within my budget but I don't know if I really need it because I can always buy more games.

Answer 1

I say you buy yourself a new 1080p LCD TV, this would go great with those high definition games. The 19 inch Philips tv is $379 at Walmart. Besides you could download free PS3 demos from The PlayStation Store.

Answer 2

Don't buy an HDTV if are only planning to play games.  Why pay for the internal tuner when you don't need it.  Buy a 22" or 24" LCD monitor instead (newegg.com).  Make sure it has a DVI or HDMI input that is HDCP compliant.  That will allow you to connect your PS3 to the monitor via HDMI.  If you buy a monitor with only a DVI input then you will need an HDMI to DVI converter ( >$5 at monoprice.com).  The picture from a $250 brand name monitor will look stunning.  You don't need 1080p at that size.
