For $100 more dollars,

Would you (given all the hassle) pack up this TV and take it back to Best Buy:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8249781&st=samsung+32"&type=product&id=1169512289094

Then go to Sears and buy this TV? (Sears website is down so I had to link the same model on Best Buy):
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...p+32"&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1190678017262

CONSIDERING, these minor differences in sets:
Samsung has swivel stand (major plus), has VGA PC input (but I'm assuming not a prob since there are DVI -> HDMI cables)

Thanks.
 
Yes, take it back. Unless 720p is ok with you and you like your pixels chunky. Maybe you don't want to get on the hi rez 1080p train. Maybe.

Samsung 32": Resolution 1366 x 768 (720p)
Sharp 32" : Resolution 1920 x 1080 (1080p)

Not a minor difference for $100.
 
The Sharp also uses an ASV panel while the Samsung uses a MVA panel, the Sharp is far superior.
 
All Aquos use ASV. Plus it's in the description. All Samsungs (TVs) use P/MVA, they make the panels.
 
Ok so since its worth it, i'll prob jump all over that.

Do retail stores sell the DVI -> HDMI cable cheap? If not I guess i'll order one off monoprice.
 
Worth it only if you will be usign the TV to play Xbox 360 or PS3 games on it; Or you have an High Definition DVD player. If the only use is to watch tv, not worth it IMO. There are no 1080P broadcast signals.

Click to expand...

It's worth it in every possible way, it's better all around LCD.
 
So, I bought it.

Can anyone with this TV comment on the best settings? I dont like how it changes brightness automatically... I like for my screen to be one brightness all the time... It seems like it adjusts hthe brightness automatically for some reason.
 
That's dynamic contrast, you should be able to disable it by selecting User mode, I think. It's been a while since I played with one, but there is a way to disable it. There may even be an option to turn it off in the setup menu.
 
Its called OPC I think... mine seems backwards? When its set to OFF my backlight changes constantly but when its set to ON it doesn't change, but stays really dim for some reason.
