As far as gaming goes, I've heard that the Sony Bravia BX300 32-inch LCD TV is a fair compromise between price and quality.
It's a tad more expensive than Samsung (5k difference IIRC), but while the color quality isn't as sharp, it has a superior refresh rate that makes it ideal for action flicks, sports programs, and of course, video gaming in general.
Not to mention it has two HDMI ports and two component ports - perfect for my PS3 and the WD media player I got a while back, and still enough room for my Sky Cable dongle
I've been reading a bit, and it seems that 32-inches don't really need to go 1080P HD, given the screen's too small for anybody to notice any difference between that and 720P, and pretty much all PS3 games already run 720P by default. I recall reading a tech mag that explained people shouldn't really need to worry about 1080p res unless their screen is at least in the 40-inch range.

On a related note, I just found out that Absenon's at St Francis Square has a price slash for their LCD TV sets - can anybody confirm if the promo extends to all their branches, and which TV brands are under the promo?
