I actually use a 42in HD Samsung Tv. I think I paid $200-$300 for it at Costco. You have to make sure you get something with really good resolution. Any kind of blur or fuzziness will make the experience awful. Might even give you a headache. I love it. Works great with my Mac book pro over hdmi. Only inconvenience is that it does not support sleep mode. You will have to turn it on and off.
