Q. we want to buy a new tv on black friday. whats a good brand, whats the best screen size for my money? 720i or 720p or go full hd? were should i buy it from?
A. BRAND:
You should be looking at the following brands for a reliable tv:
- Sony
- Samsung
- Sharp
- Panasonic
- LG
SCREEN SIZE:
You have not stated your budget, so the best I can do for you to determine the best screen size is this. Measure the distance between where your tv will be, and where you will sit. Then find the best match according to the chart in the link (under the sub-title "Wide-screen TV-viewing distances").

RESOLUTION:
First of all there is no 720i on the market, so you should only be looking at 720p and 1080p. There are 3 factors which should help you come up with a conclusion, and they are as follows:
1. What will the size of your screen be (refer to SCREEN SIZE)? If you are buying a TV under 42", then don't bother with a 1080p beause you won't be able to tell much of a difference.
2. Your budget is another factor, most well-built 1080p HDTVs cost over $1000, so if your budget doesn't meet the cost, then you can eliminate the possibility.
3. What video sources will you be using? If you're watching HD channels and nothing else, you might as well save your money because HD channels are not capable of broadcasting in 1080p, it can only go up to 1080i with today's technology. However if you will be gaming with a PS3 or Xbox 360 then you might want to consider getting a 1080p. Finally, if you're going to watch Blu-ray movies, then 1080p is essential because the difference is noticable to the naked eye.
STORE:
My only answer to this will be to look at the flyers, and look online to check for bargains in retailers near you. Sometimes the best deals are not on the flyers! I do not know the prices and product availability of every store so I cannot give you a definate anwer. You will have to do some research yourself.
My advice however is to buy from big electronic retailers like Best Buy and Future Shop. Ones at Wal-Mart are cheap but that's because they're either 3rd tier brands, or old models which manufacturers sold to Wal-Mart for a really low price.
That was quite a bit of typing...... whew.... anyways, I sure hope all that effort helped you!

A. THAT's $2400 for last years' models or even 2 years old.
Same models are $800 to $1200 to $1395 at WalMart yesterday!
Save up saome money if you do not have good credit, all TV's will drop more every month with this slow economy and market saturation.
Check free ad pages local Greensheets for "divorce" giveaways of top equipment. happens!
$200 down from Conn's in Texas will get you into 0% finance of better TVs. Rental stores pay the same as all stores at wholesale. Markup is 50% of price you pay at regular stores. Rentals get you to pay 200%!!!!
CNET customers like those $3000-$4000 new plasmas for games, in recommendations.
Those $1500-$2500 1080i/p 's will work great for you too. 42-56inches... Go to Wally World NOW!!

Is there a cable for Xbox360 to connect into my laptop so I can play games on my laptop?
Q. I would use audio/video from my laptop like a T.V.?
A. From reading many posts on the subject, there does not appear to be a cable that accomplishes displaying an XBOX 360 to a laptop. The device below connects via RGB and accepts Component input from the XBOX except that the picture quality is not going to be anywhere near HDTV.

The XBOX has cables that go from proprietary AV ports to HDMI, Component (RGB) or Composite
Inputs/Outputs
* Memory Unit ports (2)
* USB ports (2 front, 1 rear)
* Ethernet port
* AV Port
* DC IN power port
* IR remote receiver
* Wireless: 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum (up to four players)
