I would probably suggest going to a Best Buy or Walmart and looking for something that is a decent size, but is within your price range. Keep in mind that bigger TVs aren't always better TVs. Also pretty much everything is HD currently so unless you really want to see a few extra pixels, go with something in the 720p range instead of 1080p.

As far as what to look for, make sure your TV has the correct connections for your Xbox as well as extra ports (such as extra jacks for an HDMI cable) if you have a cable box. You don't want to be constantly switching wires if you want to switch from gaming to cable TV; if you don't care about cable then this isn't a problem. Also your Xbox can act as a DVD player so you don't have to worry about that.

In the end, pretty much all TVs are the same and will last you at least 1-10 years before we all get TV directly installed in our brains. I had an old standard definition TV that lasted me 8 years before the sound blew. My current TV and first HDTV has been running fine for 5 years now with no problems. I personally wouldn't spend more than $150 on a TV or one that is over 40 inches.
