Best 1080P LCD TV over 30"?

My brother-in-law has a 1080p Sharp (~46 inch), so I did some tests for gaming/computer usage. Well, I found the dynamic contrast "issue" to be VERY annoying... and you can't turn it off! I was testing out half-life 2, and when I turned on the flashlight the entire screen seems to lose...

:UPDATE:Please Help:Plugged my pc in a hotel wall outlet and now its damaged

Sounds like the monitor is kaput to me. Usually when other hardware has gone out on me, I can never get into windows (I've had all the major components go out over the years: video card, ram, cpu, mobo, psu, hard drive, you name it). Regarding the reimbursement question, you'll have to look...

Say you had $500 buckaroos

Hrmm, it looks like from the current standings in the poll that this is the general consensus. I hope Nvidia can bring the new GTS's out early December... I hope I can wait that long. On a side note, I wonder how well 8800GT SLI would compare to a single 8800GTS 512 or 1G... hrmm... even if...

Say you had $500 buckaroos

Long story short, just got a little influx of cash burning a hole in my pocket, and it needs to find a home. :D Grr, I'm so tempted to pick up two 8800GT's (close enough to $500), but I can't get comfortable with beta testing SLI. I had SLI waaaay back with Voodoo 2's, and it was pretty...

2nd monitor not working with 8800GT

Just taking a stab at it, I'd guess the drivers are not set properly on the new video cards. You might try downloading the most recent drivers from nvidia, and look through the options to enable two screens. My guess is it's probably a software issue, not hardware.

HDTV's as a monitor?!

Insomniator, I totally agree with you that IQ is king for certain tasks... image editing, CAD stuff, WORK related things. After seeing how good a 46" at 1080p from 3 ft away looks, I don't think the pixel size of a 32-37 will be an issue. ... Of course, it's kinda silly to argue without...

HDTV's as a monitor?!

"Smearing" you say? Is that similar to "ghosting"? I honestly haven't had much experience with gaming on LCD's, but these monstrous 'monitors' are giving me some hope.

HDTV's as a monitor?!

Actually, I was planning on sitting 2-3 feet away, tops. Based on my experience with my brother's 42 inch Sharp, sitting more than 4 feet away makes font very difficult to read at 1080p. Anyone have experience with monitors of this size? 32 inch would probably be large enough, but the...

HDTV's as a monitor?!

I guess I've been out of loop for a while, but since I last bought my 21 inch CRT 3 years ago I was not impressed with LCDs for gaming (ghosting, lag, whathaveyou). Have I missed the timeframe on the Westinghouse LVM-37W3? I notice an SE version on the 'egg, but I'm afraid of their 'TV'...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Greetings! Nice thread, tons of great info here! I just now realized the potential of a HDTV as a monitor since my brother-in-law bought his 46" Sharp Aquos. I did a few levels of half-life2 at 1080p and I was sold on an HDTV. I'd like something in the range of 30-37 inch, to be used for...
