    Hey everyone, I'm a total noob with LCD and plasma TVs. I am now looking into buying my first one, but I'm not quite sure what to get. I want to be able to hook my laptop/desktop up to it to play some games (CS:S, WoW). What features in a TV do I need for this?

    Also, which is better for gaming, plasma or LCD?

    Thanks!

    LCD is better. Do not look at plasma. As for hooking it up to your computer too, i would get one that has 1080p if it is greater than 32 inches.
