What input are you using on the TV and what type of cable are you using? I had to do some tweaking with my video card to get everything looking good. Something is definitely wrong in your case. Post some more info so we can help you.
I got the movie and the game to work...ashamed to admit it..but was disc issues, not tv issue..only took me 24 hrs to figure that out..grr.
Still having issues with calibration though...any suggestions would be great...right now I am using 'pc' av to view movies as all the rest are brutal..but it's so colorless..and 'game' setting for games is so dull. Could you list your settings..I haven't touched the 'hue' settings..too nervous
I am using hdmi from ps3 to lcd...xbox360 I am using component.
Question regarding ps3 setting...rbg (or is that rgb) or that 'ybc" <--forget what it says, but it's the option of 'auto' 'rbg' or the 'y' one...I have it on the 'y' now and have white option 'on'...if any of you are way more informed on this stuff than me could you please post your settings for lcd and ps3..sorry for being so needy...such a newbie...this is my 2nd lcd but first was a cheap little 26" toshiba 26hl37..it's decent but wanted this 1080 one....still buying a 46 or 50 when the new Samsung or Toshiba comes out..5.5 pull down..120hz, etc..oh yeah
Thanks to those that replied to my last posting..appreciate it.
I looked through the manual for the LC-32GP3U to see how it would work with my computers. The PC compatibility chart on page 16 left me confused.
Will this TV display 1920X1080 if I connect the DVI from my computer to an HDMI input with a conversion cable? That resolution is available from the PC.
Also, will it display 1920X1080 if I connect the analog RGB output from my notebook to the RGB (PC) input of the TV? The notebook show that resolution available at 60Hz.
If this TV will do either or both, then why doesn't 1920X1080 appear in the compatibility chart?
Thanks for the help.

Jung...........yes, fully agree..I tried to delete my first post so as to not give that impression to new buyers.
What settings do u use for calibration? U seem to have a grasp on this lcd..would appreciate any fine tuning suggestions..the games seem to have a lot of blur but I'm sure with the right tweaking this could be a non issue..just spent a few hours tweaking and unable to find happy tweak..so any help would be great
I don't use my pc video card...mainly use lcd for ps3 games/movies and the xbox360 plus watching HD tv, mainly sports.
I have tried all the AC...just wondering what others have for their 'Preference' AV settings...at this point I'm watching blu-ray movies with either 'Standard or PC' settings as the other AV options don't look good with movies...game play with either xbox or ps3 looks dull and I use 'game' AV or 'Dynamic (not fixed) AV..my little dude stated he likes the 26" better than this (old Toshiba lcd) for playing his xbox360 Lego Star wars...told him it will get better once I fix settings...they get so picky so young
I switch from OPC off/on based on show. Currently have Color Temp on 'middle' and sometimes on 'middle high.'
What settings do u use for gaming and for movies and hdtv?
My current settings for TV as my preference (but not really my preference, just the best I can figure so far) is as follows (rest of my uses I use AV modes, but rather tweak with preference if someone has better)
OPC- On
Backlight: +1
Contrast: +40
Bright: -5
Color, Tint both 0
Sharp: +1
Color Temp: Middle
IP: Fast
Film: ON
OPC: max +16
min -16
Got most of those from a previous posting and just modified a little....any improvement would be welcomed!!
I am really interested in this TV, but I am going to use it for a PC monitor mainly.
I am really worried about the pixel width being .36 since I am used to LCDs having a .28 or less pixel width... I read a lot on my PC, so I need the text to be sharp... I will be sitting about 2 feet away.
Is it worse than a CRT or better? I really don't want to get headaches, and older CRTs give me headaches when reading.
Also, I have only seen the .36 mentioned here... how accurate is that? I can't find an official pixel width anywhere.
Dang! Bestbuy is not getting this TV!!!
screw you BB!
Has anybody hooked this up to a macbook pro via DVI->HDMI cable? I am currently using a Dell 2405 and I am sitting about 2.5' away. Is this too close? Will I see pixels?
Also, I think its input 6, has the audio inputs as well so I can play sounds from the laptop, correct?
I will be using the Mac/PS3 for this.
Thanks.
Been through 3 large LCDs recently...probably the 4065F Samsung will be a keeper...(though it has an annoying buzz I sometimes hear...)
I'd suggest considering a 40 inch model if at all possible. More to chose from....
And I'd be weary of banding on the Sharp sets, which was a deal breaker for me...
Hey guys I saw this quote in the 1080p 32" thread:
whats this banding hes talking about and it is on the gp3u model?
I think he's talking about vertical banding? Its a defect with some LCD, has nothing to do with Sharp in general. It can happen to any LCD. I wouldn't worry about it to much. If he is suggesting a 40" HDTV monitor that will be 2-3ft away from you I would take his opinion with a grain of salt, big one. When he says he has been through 3 LCD does he mean actual computer monitor or HDTV because I been through 4 LCD computer monitors and I have 2 1080p HDTV. No banding problem with either one of them. *knock on something. He doesn't mention the GP3 either, just Sharp in general. I might of missed it but I haven't read any issues on the GP3 on this forum.

Disregard this if it's already been mentioned but Sharp has a 26" 1080p display in the Japanese market for a few months which has a regular pixel alignment. It's possible they may bring it over to North America which may be of interest to some of you.

How's the blacks on this HDTV, is it comparable to the Panasonic 32LZ800? I know this monitor came out long before the LZ800, is the GP3U still worth it? Because the LZ800 is an IPS panel while this is a TFT (if i am correct).
Quoted from duckymcse:
"1. Single color uniformity: not that good (the 4 corner and left and right of the screen is slight darker than the middle of the screen).
2. Slightly changes in brightness between from the non-active windows vs active windows."
Are these 2 things still issues after turning off the dynamic contrast setting?
Right now, I don't know if the Panasonic is locally available for me yet since I am from Canada and probably more expensive than the US. Also I can possibly get the GP3U for $1000-1100 after tax. So I am really considering if this 32" is best choice currently, since the LZ800 has a buzz issue. As well from what I read on here and AVSforum, the Sony XBR6 and Samsung are not great buy compare to the LZ800.
So I would like others' opinions and any other suggestions are welcome.
I can't believe nobody has measured input lag on these.
I believe the Vyper Drive is supposed to reduce the input lag, that's what they market the GP series for.
How does this sharp compare to the samsung 32"ers? I am considering a 32" and think its between the 2 of these. I currently have a 20" non-widescreen and want to upgrade to anywhere between a 24-32" but it seems for the price this may be the way to go; still not quite sure, but it seems that most people are getting into the larger displays and the 30"ers do not seem to have enough inputs (at least computer monitors)
