We have a 19" LCD... we bought it with the xbox as PP said, an old TV is hardly 'compatible'. We got it on clearance for $100 less as it was the display TV. A lot of games are made for HDTV only with no updates for them to be visibly sound to be played on an old TV. WE hardly watch TV but the xbox and the Wii gets used a lot. It's in our bedroom and we have a 61cm old one for the lounge that we bought while in share housing and that only cost us $170.
