Whats the best HDTV for gaming?
A few years ago, I wrote a column called What’s the ultimate HDTV for gamers? Chalk it up to the pitfalls of good Google optimization, but ever since that column was published, it seems that people have been stumbling upon it in their searches and wishing my old advice was more current. Practically every week I get an e-mail or two requesting that I update it–and so I will attempt to do so. In three years, a lot has changed in the gaming landscape vis-a-vis HDTV. Back when I wrote the first column, the Xbox 360 and PS3 hadn’t arrived yet (the Wii wasn’t around either, but that console isn’t about HD).

The high-end, 45-inch Sharp LCD TV I mentioned in my original column cost around $10,000 in 200
