Question TV for 360

I bought myself a 360 about 2 weeks ago now.

It wont work on my tv cos it's over 10 years old and doesn't support 60hz so it's still never been opened.

I planned to get a new hdtv a day or two after getting the 360 but I thought I'd check out a few reviews and stuff online first, and now I've just confused myself completely.

There's so many conflicting opinions about tv's online.

I know the 360 renders games in 720p, and so the perfect resolution for it would be 1280x720, but it's impossible to find an lcd hdtv with that res, there used to be one in argos but its long since sold out.

The closest I can find is 1366x768 but am I right in assuming that the 360 will render the game to 1280x720 and stretch it to fit the screen?

Also considered a new pc monitor and a vga cable for my 360 but apparently it's not proper 720p through a monitor either, and I cant find one with a 16:9 resolution, they all seem to be 16:10.

Basically I've got £500 max, and I want something ideally around 22 - 26 inches.

What does everyone here use for their 360?

And just out of interest does anyone know what model the samsung tv in the 360 demo cabinets is?

Aaaaaand I'd like to run my ps2 through it too, but I've read a lot of reviews where people say their ps2 looks terrible on an lcd.
