| Reviewer: Cory, Dallas, TX USA |
I came close to purchasing the GP1U's brother, the D62U, for the reason of having all HD formats/resolutions up to 1080p at my disposal. I looked online and found that the gaming model was in stock and on sale at a local retailer so I quickly researched it, took a leap of faith and bought it. The total price for this ended up being less than the D62u's overall price! One thing I love and probably could not live without is this TV's ability to display 1080p content through all of its ports including the component ports. I mounted the stand to the Tv and set it up in about 10 minutes or so. The assembly was very easy and the directions intuitive. I immediately connected a PS3 using older PS2 monster component cables and set the output resolution on the PS3 to 1080p and WOW!
The picture on this TV is simply amazing! I downloaded a few 1080p PS3 demos and blu-ray trailers from Playstation Network and watched/ played in total amazement. I dare anyone who gets this TV to watch the Black Hawk Down trailer in 1080p. It's unreal! I also tested out the Vyper Drive gaming interface on the side panel(through component) and it ran very smoothly. There was zero lag. The 6ms response time and 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio contribute to this quality. I tested all of this with the Motorstorm(720p) and Ninja Gaiden(1080p) demos. Wow!
There seems to be a popular misconception that 1080p is not noticably different than 720p on this TV size but I noticed a considerable difference between resolutions. This TV boasts an arsenal of HD ports including 2 components, 3 HDMI, and one DVI in. I get free comcast through the wall at my place and plugged in through the TV's coaxial input and found a few HD channels including all the local feeds. I viewed everything from pro surfing(MOJO), to the NHL playoffs(NBC HD), to the Subway series(Yankees vs Mets - FOX HD) in breathtaking 720p and 1080i formats. The Discovery HD theatre channel looks especially exceptional with its stunning visuals 24/7. HDNET and TNT HD look fantastic as well.
I was really fearing what 480i programming from regular TV would look like. To my surprise, it looks great! I still need to do some additional calibration but this TV is nearly good to go out of the box. The black levels look fantastic. The lack of picture-in functionality is my only beef but its nothing major. There are so many positives to this TV.
Ok, ok, you get the point. This TV is worth the money and is not to be missed if you have the opportunity to buy it. It has everything you would want - all formats - 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. I don't think I'll ever have the capacity to fill all the ports! I recommend it to anyone who loves to play video games at high resolutions and watch HD movies and TV programming! |
Awesome gaming TV

I just got this TV a week ago and use it exclusively for gaming. NOTHING really matches this TV ON PAPER. AFAIK Sharp is the only company who makes 32" 1080p TVs.
Before I got this TV, I looked at the competing Samsung and Sony products (720p). Looking at the B&M stores, Samsung is not even close, and Sony Bravia is indeed better...but for a huge price difference!
This TV supports XBox 360 1080p over component...but it's not really saying much since only TWO games support full 1080p: Virtua Tennis 3 (which i don't have) and NBA street Homecourt...NBA street homecourt in 1080p has inferior framerate and sound than in 720p. In 720p, though, It really rocks! I can't wait to see more games in 1080p.
There is one other slightly cheaper Sharp 32" 1080p (LC-32D62U) but I'm it's not optimized for gaming. I'm not even sure if it can support 1080p over component.
So what does it mean when a TV is "optimized for gaming?" it just means that the TV isn't doing post-processing of the signal to make it better...think of it as pass-through. therefore, no lag.
Oh, and the built-in speakers? I'm not gonna lie: it's like listening on those tin-can toy phones. These TVs aren't built for mind-blowing sound anyway. Get one of those Klipsch 2.1 PC speakers and you're in business.
With all that said, IF you are going to use this TV mostly for watching DVDs/SDTV and not for gaming, save your money and get the non-gaming edition or even the 720p models. Otherwise, for the hardcore gaming freaks sitting about 3 feet from the TV, it can't get better than this at a reasonable pricepoint! |
