I'm afraid there is no such TV. Any HDTV will lag on the Wii. The Wii can only output 480p max, so the signal will have to be upscaled to the resolution of the TV.

You CAN get really good HDTV's that don't lag for the 360 and PS3, though. Look at the ViewSonic NX2232 that MLG uses, for example.

0_0 umm... Im not sure if a TV like that exists. At some point in its life there will be input lag. TVs just arent made with us gamers in mind. As far as resolution goes, a lot of TVs have the right settings for the Next Gen systems' highest resolution but I don't really have any suggestions except don't buy a brand youve never heard of. Really any brand is fine...yay for ViewSonic!

I don't know what to look for to tell if it's what I need and it's not THAT big a hurry I just want to know how much money to save.

You'd think with how big the gamer demographic is becoming, TV makers would start taking gamers into consideration. Some have done so as noted by the semi-famous "Game Mode" in many TVs' options menus (my dad's big-screen TV has it).
