I need a realy good tv for my xbox 360 and i need a tv that cost around 300 and up
Answer
That's a tough question to answer because nearly all of them fit that description. Except for smaller ones (less than 40" diagonally) the vast majority have more than one HDMI Input, are 1080p in resolution and cost more than $300 (I'm assuming U.S. dollars - maybe you meant something else but you didn't specify).
You can't go wrong with a Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, and even Vizio (some would thumbs-down that last, but I know many people who love them). Here's a list of Amazon's 15 best-selling TVs from 2012:

For gaming many people say Plasma is the best technology for it's fastest response time (no "lag" in the video), but LEDs have come down in price, provide a brighter picture, will overall last longer (all will usually be obsolete before they fail or get dim) have largely solved the lag problem, and use less energy to operate. But for anyone to pick one for you - well I sure wouldn't try. Go look at as many as you can, read online reviews of any you are considering, and make your decision - it's your eyes and ears... Good luck!

Questions about Panasonic GT50 THX Cinema picture mode?
Alex
I purchased a 50" GT50 HDTV a few days ago and I absolutely LOVE it! The picture is amazing. I was playing around with the picture modes though and i noticed one called "THX Cinema". How is this different from the regular "Cinema" mode? When i switch between them all that's obvious is that the picture looks a bit smaller but more complete (like it zooms out a tiny bit). Of course I'm completely ignorant to all this technical stuff so what do I know. Can anyone explain this to me? I the THX mode optimal for movies and such?
Answer
For a given manufacturer’s compliant display, THX [picture] modes are intended to provide a set of simple preset picture settings that conform to THX’s carefully chosen criteria for video image quality. Ideally the preset THX picture settings should provide the most natural or accurate video image quality short of a professional video display “calibration.” In reality, for the more demanding perfectionist it is relatively easy to surpass the image quality performance offered by the preset THX picture modes on the 2012 Panasonic plasma display panels by using the Custom picture mode along with proper display calibration software and hardware.
In addition:
THX picture modes (according to Panasonic GT50 series eHELP, page 25):
‘Precisely reproduces the original quality of the image without any revision.’
‘Recommended for playback of THX disc[s] (disc[s] with “THX” logo.) THX mode is used to mirror the picture settings used by professional filmmakers, faithfully reproducing the image quality of THX Certified movies. (THX Certified movies have the “THX” logo on a disc.)’
