LCD HDTV Buy Now

Hello, I am planning to buy a TV for my XBOX 360 because my 42″ HD Ready(720p) TV seemingly gives unsharp images and poor image qualty for my XBOX 360(yes, I use an HDMI cable). Now, will buying an 32″ Full HD Philips TV gives better,more importantly sharper images or will a mointor of the same resolution give my a better image.
Here are the the Specefications for the Philips TV:
Full HD 1920x1080p
Contrast Ratio 50000:1
Pixel Plus HD for Sharper Image quality
2x10w Speakers
3 HDMI Ports

NOTE: I will obviously play games very close to the TV(as close as one would play one a monitor). Is this appropriate or do I need to play it from a distance?

One more thing: How will I get any sound if connect my XBOX 360 to a monitor( how will find a cable to allow my XBOX 360 to pass sounds via my computer speakers? OR will the HDMI to VGA cable be simply fitted with a seperate cable?

I’d like to buy a 37” LCD TV. Should I buy a Sony, Panasonic or a Samsung. Which one has better audio and video compared to the price? The Sony seems to be kind of overpriced, while the other two brands have better prices. Second, should I get a Full HD, 780p or 480p? By the way, I’m sitting about 11 feet away from the TV. Thank you in advance!
