G'morning all,

I have a 37" Westy and it's got a few burn-in issues, to the point where I forgot and I left WiC running during supper last night and when I got back it had burnt some images into the screen. It seems like they're gone now... But I still have some vague burning issues that are real noticeable in Morrowind for some issue, almost like a window screen (but not with the actual lines, just my impression of it).

This is primarily for computer work (lots of gaming too), but I also keep my 360 hooked up.

I'm thinking about handing this back to my dad and buying a 32" or 37" Aquos. Newegg has six models listed at 32" and 37". Is the "Vyper Drive Game Mode" all they say it is? Should I look at something else instead?

Thanks for reading! :)
 
Aquos is a good LCD and Sharp produces these themselves. I would recommend them. Costco right now is selling 52" Aquos 1080p for $1700.
 
I have the 32" w/ viper drive.

If you can get past the huge red push/bleed problem and the fact that the dynamic contrast is super noticable its friggin great.

But any red text is a pita to read. From what Ive read all the Aquos have this same issue.
 
I was my understanding that the GP3U fixed this (compared to the GP1U). It was actually an [H] reader who posted the pic distinguishing the two as well.
 
yea I have the gp1u, so maybe it did get fixed. I calibrated it enough that I can deal, but on my model its still horrible.
 
The dynamic color can be easily turned off (I did it to my 37 sharp aquos GP1U). The only problem is bright red and dark blue text is very hard to read. However gaming is INTENSE!
 
no problem with dynamic color ( or contrast i think it's called) on the newer units... you can just turn that feature off from the main menu.
