Best TV for me?

I am looking to buy a new tv and here is some info.

-Its for my bedroom so closest is 5 feet and farthest distance to the tv is 10 feet.

-It only has standard cable right now, may upgrade in a year or so.

-It will be used alot for gaming with an xbox 360.

-It will also be used for watching tv

-I was given the option of a 32" element tv with 5 year warrant for 625.00

-I know black friday is coming up so there may be a deal there.

Other then that what model size etc... should i consider. my budget is 650 or under. And don't come on here telling me im cheap and should invest in a better tv. This is what i can afford. thanks for everything. if you want more info just ask.

-----It doesnt necessarily have to be a name brand and i would prefer it to be 26 or up but not to big.

Update:

just to let you know about the 5 year warranty. It covers anything as long as the damages arent due to neglect. Also i was wondering the same thing about the warranty center but i was told it is nearby and if it looks like it will take a while to fix, then they will give me one from the store while they fix it. just wanted to add this.

    Get the 37 incher....

    Or the 30 or 32....Whichever one fits your wallet.

    The warranty will cover any TV whether it's fixed or replaced....

    I would suggest staying away from an Element tv cuz of issues with how long they last. A decent tv within your price range is the Visio 32 inch LCD hdtv for around $600. It can be purchased at Sears or Circuit City or other electronic stores.

    Most of the popular name brands have entry level TV's that start at $700 when on sale. The Sony 32" M3000 series is a great TV and it can be found for $700 on black friday or a good sale. That may be $50 above your budget, but you will have much better luck with a popular name brand and those tv's are easier to get repaired if necessary..

    I agree spending and investing your money the first time is always the better option.

    That guy is correct the Sony M Series is an excellent series at a lower price point. Very reliable, and a name brand.

    What good is a 5 year warranty if the company dosnt have any warranty center near by, or if they dont make parts for it.

    If you by a cheaper unit you will spend more money when it breaks a year or less later.

    I suggest staying away from all walmart units, including Samsung, Vizio..

    The sony M series is very very good, also the Toshibas are good also.

    Trust me your going to wish you bought the name brand unit the first time.
