"OWNER'S REPORT" (2+ months use) 2008 32" Sharp LC-32GP3U..... How sweet it is !! Used as a combo "PCMonitor & Gaming Panel". Resolution: Its always run at "1080P" (1920X1080 rez), When used as PC Monitor (always 1920x1080 rez) the Text is sharp, crisp, clear. Blacks are excellent. Colors...

You asked, so I'll answer. Read this carefully cuz I prolly wont be back this way again to answer any questions. I'm d-e-e-p in a new RPG expansion called "Shivering Isles" and it has complex plot, excellent graphics. And when I'm done with that, the "Mask of The Betrayer" is waiting for me to...

Thanx for the question Jungle, No I have never even opened that "compartment". Reread my post. cuz I edited it just a minute ago, to make the procedure a little clearer. You do this: Point your hand-held Remote at the screen, and press the 'Menu" button, Then u see the screen that I described...

FINAL REPORT (my new 2008 32" 1080P Sharp LG-32GP3U): My screen-colors do NOT randomly "change intensity" or "change color" when I'm Gaming or using GP3U as a PC Monitor. Colors stay rock-steady at whatever I set them to. Why? Cuz. using the hand-held Remote, I turned off "Active Contrast"...

EIZO calls itself "LCD monitor of choice" for Graphics designers, Photographers, CAD engineers. Here's quote from front-page of EIZO Website (showing latest new 22", 24", 30" models for 2008) ..... Monitor for High-End Still and Moving Image Work With 12-bit hardware calibration and 6 ms...

Congrats ! Yes, it is fine for PC use. I'm interested in how high your Nvidia 8800GTS card will let you crank up the "eyecandy" in a Game, cuz I wanna upgrade from my twin 7900GT's. I hear that one ATI 3870 or one Nvidia 8800 card can do more work than two 7900GTs. If true, then wow!--they must...

Can't say, cuz I never used a Game Console (xbox, ps3 etc.). I'll just tell you my opinion so far of the GP3U, and you be judge cuz you know whats best for you .... So far I'm quite pleased with my wonderful new 32" 1080P LCD-TV. Haven't seen any "flaws" yet, but to tell truth I'm not...

www.jr.com no tax free shipping, 30 day return, nice people.

Glad to hear it. It was so bad with me, it was distracting. Luckily I came across post from sharp dude who said "Clear Type sometimes does strange things to text-colors".(Duckymse, notice the word, "sometimes"). So I deactivated ClearType (for "font-smoothing") using Display icon in WinXP's...

Same with me when I had 32" D62U----it was fine.

Thanks, my hasty typing. Name is now correct.

I had same problem when using ClearType for "smoothing screen fonts". (I wasn't using ClearType for everything, just for that). It made me decide never to use ClearType at all, period. My Text was changing colors at random. I was mistakenly blaming the new LCD-TV I had just bot. Sometimes a...

I fixed a problem with "shifting Text colors" on my GP3U. The culprit was WinXP 'ClearType'. I was letting WinXP use it, to smooth screen fonts. When I un-checked the box, the Text problem disappeared Also I see no color-shifting, when running "red bar "Test (see sethk's post, 6 posts above...

senseiam, the GP3U is not an "updated GP1U." When Sharp built the GP3U they replaced most of the GP1U guts. They threw out the GP1U's circuit boards, replacing them with new, faster integrated-circuits (called "system on a chip"). They wrote new Software to run everything, and put the new TV in...

GP3U SETTINGS. 1 ... First thing I did was lower the factory's ridiculously-high Backlite setting. (dont wanna prematurely burn-out my nice new LCD-TV). The reason a Mfr cranks-up the Backlite is so that in Stores, his TV will look "Briighter" and more "Colorful" than the competition. So of...

Thanks, Jungle, that is great news. A real live Photographer posting all kindsa Pics here, will be tremendous Help to folks who are considering buying this set. Hope your GP3U arrives real soon !! :D

Your weicome. I just now came off playing Oblivion at full 1080P rez, its an intensely " high- quality graphics" Game that pushes PCs to their limits. The GP3U does more than drawing "real nice Text" in Windows. It draws Oblivion's gigantic Imperial City superbly, even to tiny details in...

Junglicious, hope you enjoy the set. I like it, but haven't calibrated colors yet, (still looking for an owner to post a list of "color-settings that work for me" ). "Hole spacings for wall mount"?? I'm sure it must use "VESA certified" hole spacings, all tv mfrs do as far as I know. I saw a...

Thank you for pointing to those three inputs. I connected PC to HDMI Input# 5 then shut down PC & TV and let them sit a while. Then fired-up, and hit "View Mode" button on Remote, and "Dot x Dot" was there in the menu. I clicked on it, and my huge 32" desktop is now a perfect fit------ no more...

My GP3U arrived by UPS ---- it set right up fine to 1920x1080 rez @60hz with no problem. Wow, this TV is so beautiful. I'd like to find 'Dot-by-Dot' option but haven't found it yet. Perhaps I'm using wrong HDMI input. (I think manual says Dot x Dot is not available on all inputs-----but I may be...

Thanks for the good news, cuz I was worried. btw, my GP3U arrives today.

I pulled trigger at JR. 32" Sharp LC-32GP3U-B ($1249 dlvrd).

OK, I studied your "White Screen" Pic at your Photobucket website. It's not a White screen, The outside-edges of the screen (top, bottom, sides) are pale, light Blue. As you go towards center of screen, the Blue slowly turns to Dirty White. Perhaps your GP3U isn't Calibrated properly. Try a new...

duck is this the "blank white screen" that u uploaded to your Photobucket website?

Hm, that's strange. Usually, the complaints against many LCD monitors is... "screen looks slightly LIGHTER at one edge" (Note: its Backlight leakage) Could u post a pic of a blank screen so I can see what your talking about ? Thanx. I'm close to pulling trigger.

Bigfoot, I cant see your pic unless I sign up at that damn website. Will you please post a pic here? Thanx.

Thanks, that's good news. It seems to confirm what a tek-savvy guy said in AVS forums. He said the new 2008 Sharp 32" GP3U has circuits that are very-different from the 2007 Sharp 32" GP1U circuits. I'll try to give here the "essence" of what he said (any errors are mine not his) ..... The...

My Dell 30" is a sweetheart but once I got 1080P Sharp 32" it was "goodbye 30". Heh. 2" don't sound like much, but a 2" boost in Diagonal size is a big-boost in "total real estate". My 30" looks kinda-small, alongside it. (Go look "up-close" at row of 32"s in local CircCity; they're Big). 32" @...

duck, thanx for the "close-up" pic of the young mean-lookin' dude. wow you can see the pores in his skin. Also, he's kinda 'red' like a lobster :D Is this a 'Calibration' issue? do you have one of those cd disks that calibrates colors (like NewEgg sells the Spyder-2) or have u calibrated by...

Have you seen any kind of switch, or checkbox, (or whatever) that lets you turn on / off "Dynamic Colors"? Some GP1U owners complained that the TV sometimes "shifted" colors a little bit, darker or lighter, for no good reason. They wanted to shut-off the tv's ability to do thst----but there was...

I'm sure you already know this, but someone else might not. So, here it is.... Whenever I change Monitor size----I then "fine-tune" the Text to the exact size I like. Here's how.... In 'Control Panel' I drag a shortcut of the 'Display' icon onto my WinXP desktop. I then click on it...

duck, congratulations on a great set ! Beautiful TV !! How was JR to do Biz with? Did shipping carton have any damage when it arrived (holes or tears)? Can we see some big closeups of faces? (Fill our screens with Big pic, show hairs on guy's face). Hey, how about some close-up Combat scenes? :D...

Prowling the web for info about 32" GP3U I found a post from a guy in Japan, to someone who asked if GP3U has any bugs ..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12-29-07, 07:28 AM #5 | Link erekose New Member Join Date: Dec...

imo, if enough 'early adopters' like Duck start reporting like "wow, this new 32" GP3U is real nice" the the orders will start pouring in and JR's price will rise.
