You defined the use, that's good. Now take a reasonable apraisal of the room and your typical viewing distance. How big do you want this set to be, and how far back/forward do you expect to sit, but also, and this is key, how much of...

A 42" EDTV flat panel will look great at normal (casual) viewing distances. You might also look at a DLP set of 720P resolution at a similar size. These also take up very little room and look great, and you might find it for a...

If the Sony does indeed support dual screen 1080P, that would be neat, but almost no one will be in a position to use that feature. The 720P/1080i of Xbox is more than fine. System specs also look roughly equal with the exception of...
