1080p Widescreen LCD TV advice? by Fussbett 07/27/2007, 4:23pm PDT
I'm looking for a sub-$3000 TV on which I'll mostly play games and as a bonus I'll hook up my living room MP3 computer to it too. If I ever get that Quake 3 LAN tournament off the ground, it'll really come in handy. I figure I want to go 1080p to futureproof it, but is this a dumb reason? Haterz need not answer that. After one AIM session with Motherhead and a couple days of perusing websites, I've got a dilemma:

Sharp Aquos 46" (LC46D62U)


CONS: No VGA input, but I could get a DVI to HDMI adapter. Is that any good? For some reason I don't trust it.

Samsung 46" (LNT4665)


CONS: 8 ms response time. Since I'm playing games on it primarily, I feel I should care about this. Plus this is $500 more than the Sharp.

Toshiba 47" (47HL167)


CONS: I don't know, the stats all look good! It's a Toshiba?

Sony Bravia 40" XBR (KDL40XBR2)


CONS: So fucking expensive I have to lose 6" to make it comparable to the other TVs. 8ms response time again.


Thoughts?

The Westinghouse 1080p model is only $500 cheaper than the Sharp, so it's not in the running with it's horrible contrast and 8ms response time.

    360 games look better on a native 720p display than they do upscaled to 1080P. NT by Helpful Monkey 07/28/2007, 5:41pm PDT NEW
        I heard the 360 did a good job of upscaling to 1080p over VGA! This is hard. :( NT by Fussbett 07/29/2007, 1:19am PDT NEW
