I have an lcd tv hooked up to my 360 right now and it works great for gaming. I don't see a reason why that wouldn't

Insignia.....

I wouldn't trust that brand. But it's up to you.

although i appreciate the reply, im hoping to hear from either insignia owners, or people who have similar tv's, and/or who know a lot about them.
again.. im wondering if 60hz refresh rate is fine for xbox360 gaming? the brand itself gets good ratings and the prices are great. side by side, the picture seems just as good as tvs twice the price.
im just wondering, based on the specs in the link i provided in the first post, if this particular tv would be good for gaming. thanks.

insignia tv's are made by lg.. best buy buys the tech for cheap and slaps their name on it. every best buy brand is just something else rebadged

I just bought an Insignia 42" 1080P tv and today was day 2.  The tv no longer works.  I didn't even have a chance to get Dish Network HD installed yet.
