Of course you should get an advanced cable at a screen that size. I could definately notice the difference on both my 28" widescreen and my 21" TVs.
A cheap alternative (and basically just as good) is the Joytech advanced lead. This also includes the optical out and S Video options should you ever wish to use them in the future (and believe me, if you haven't already, you should buy a dolby digital kit).
SR don't sell the Joytech advanced lead, but it can be bought for £12.99 from gameplay:

The only problem with this cable is that some people have reported problems with widescreen switching. If, like me, you have a widescreen TV but have it set to always be widescreen (and stretch 4:3 pictures) this will not be a problem. However, if you have the TV set to leave borders on the left and right sides when the image is 4:3, the cable will not send the signal to the TV to get rid of these borders when the game/dvd is widescreen.
However, this is a minor issue, and not really worth paying the extra £8 for the Official Advanced cable that has less features.

You'd need one that would beat you over the head yelling "Idiot! You traded in your Cube!".

50Hz/60Hz it does'nt matter, But if you've got an old TV without a SCART socket you'll need to buy an RF lead (I have the same)
i think any TV with a scart plug at the back will be suitable for an Xbox.
why you thinking about getting an Xbox anyway? because they're superiour? :-)
might wanna change your name if you do ;-)

All TV's with scart sockets run at 50HZ as standard as far as I am aware?! A lot of Xbox games don't run as well in 60HZ mode but I would advise you to get one with it so you can change. Definitley pick up an advanced scart cable if your TV is 21" + because you will notice a big difference. Anymore help just ask :)
I dont think it really matters that much. I have a cr@p tv and it works fine.
