I have noticed most people seem more concerned with the video card than the TV. Don't expect to find the *perfect* video card then hook it up to the cheapest TV you can find. If so, you may be disappointed.

I had a 27" Zenith ($280) and a 27" Toshiba ($450) sitting side-by-side. The picture quality of the Zenith was terrible, completely unusable.
Using the composite inputs on the Toshiba looked better than the s-video on the Zenith. And when using the s-video on the Toshiba... amazing. I can play every game without flaws, like having portions of the screen cut off.

BTW, I also had my DVD player hooked up to both TV's, and the results were pretty much the same. The difference wasn't as drastic, but the picture quality on the Toshiba was still worlds apart. The Zenith looked like you were watching it through a screen door.

Well, that was my experience anyway...
