WHY are you buying that Davio? Is it like $25 or something? Look, if picture quality is your concern, you're on the right track to go with a traditional "Tube" TV, since they still offer the best image quality--better than DLPs, LCDs, LCD rear-projections, or anything else (well, the tube HDTVs, anyway). However, HDTVs offer the 480P progressive scan funcition, which does sharpen thing up quite a bit. There are several Tube TVs that are HDTV, and they have the best picture quality; I assume that these are out of your price range, though. Nevertheless, even if you DON'T get an HDTV, get TV that has COMPONENT inputs--this is a specific term and so its the same for all brands--if it doesn't have COMPONENT video inputs, DON'T buy it, it's that simple. COMPONENT cables enable more detail and greater color depth, even on non-HDTVs. As for size, I personally wouldn't get anything less than 27", but if the picture is good QUALITY, your game experience won't suck just because it's smaller. It would help if you could tell us how much you have to spend, so I could probably recommend a TV in your range (I've personally Halo-tested several), but for Tube TVs you cannot beat a Sony.
Oops--I probably should have PM'd this post.
