Sharp Aquos LC32GP1U 32-Inch 1080p LCD Gaming HDTV front display
Sharp Aquos LC32GP1U 32-Inch 1080p LCD Gaming HDTV rear panelI almost got the LC32GP1U‘s brother, the D62U. I wanted all HD formats/resolutions up to and including 1080p. After learning about the gaming model, I quickly researched it. On a leap of faith, I bought it. The price was less than the D62u!
This Sharp AQUOS displays content through all ports in 1080p. This includes the component ports! Now that I have it, it will be impossible to go back to a lesser TV.
I attached the stand to the TV and configured the TV. It took around 10 minutes. Assembly was easy and the directions understandable. First, I connected a PS3 using monster component cables from an older PS2. The output resolution on the PS3 was set to 1080p and WOW!
The image on this TV is amazing! I watched a few 1080p PS3 demos and blu-ray trailers and watched/ played in total amazement. Watch the Black Hawk Down trailer in 1080p. You almost can’t believe it!
I tried the Vyper Drive gaming interface with the side inputs (using component) and it ran smoothly. There was no lag! The 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio and 6ms response time help produce this quality. I played the Motorstorm (720p) and Ninja Gaiden (1080p) game demos. Wow!
Some believe 1080p is not much different than 720p for this size TV. Well, I noticed a real difference between resolutions on this Sharp AQUOS.
This TV has an arsenal of HD ports. You get 2 component inputs, 3 HDMI inputs, and one DVI input.
Comcast is free at my place through the wall. I used the coaxial input on the TV and found several HD channels including all local feeds. I watched pro surfing(MOJO), the NHL playoffs (NBC HD), and the World Series (FOX HD) in awesome 720p and 1080i formats. The Discovery HD theatre channel is especially impressive with stunning visuals 24/7. HDNET and TNT HD are fantastic as well.
I really worried about 480i programming from regular TV. To my surprise, it’s great! I still will calibrate further, but this TV is good out of the box. Black levels are very satisfying. No picture-in-picture is my only real beef, but it’s nothing major. There are just so many positives to this Sharp AQUOS.
I hope my excitement wasn’t too overwhelming. This TV is worth it. Do not miss it if you have the opportunity to get it. It is everything you want. It has all formats… 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. Plus, there as so many ports!
I recommend the Sharp Aquos LC32GP1U to anyone who loves playing video games at the highest resolutions, and watching HD movies and TV!
