alright, well currently i have a 27 inch sony tv (cable doesnt work very well so its just used for games) and then i use my 15 in toshiba tv for the cable

so i want a new tv to clear out some space

I need something around 27 inches or so for around <$500-600ish

I would like hd, so i can hook up a xbox 360 and what not to it. I dont care if its CRT or LCD (lcd would be great but i have enough room for a crt)

so ya...

these are cheap

The 2nd one you don't, you will need an external tuner.

like a modulator type thing?

You may not need a tuner if you cable company uses hd boxes(you want hdtv right?) that can output to the tv through dvi, component, etc. If you are buying a tv with a builtin tuner make sure it is the right type for your region and wether it is hd or not.
