ctebah Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I just saw the new Sharp 45" in our Bestbuy and it simply amazes me. I am now waiting for Sharp LC-26D40U 26" AQUOS LCD HDTV, which is the brand new LCD line of Sharp TV's. The things that attract me to this LCD is the fact that it's black, 1200:1 contrast ratio, 176 viewing angle and 2 HDMI ports. I know Sharp was always good with movement for gaming. My primary use for this will be gaming on my 360. Also I just got word that the new Samsung, LNS2651D is out and that it is supposed to be better. These two are my choices, so please, I need professional opinions. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 27, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2006 I prefer the Samsung. The Sharp tends to have a finer image, but the Samsung has better colors, better sharpness and looks better aesthetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sharp tends to have a finer image, but the Samsung has better colors, better sharpness and looks better aesthetically. I was waiting for your reply. We didn't get either of these at BB yet here so I can't save money yet. I just got my BB card the other day, with the starting of a new "government" job I figured, why not. Got my 360 with 10 games and a load of accessories. I think I am going to go with samsung after all then, I think the one I am thinking of is available in both black and white and I'd prefer black. Any other LCD Monitors I should be aware of in this category? (eg: 26") Thnx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 27, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2006 I think the Samsung is your best bet. The Sony s2000 is nice but it appears that the backlighting is too bright. I've seen many of the sets with a hotspot/bleeding in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toastyone Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Samsung FTW (Y) they hold up forever and are great in terms of color and everything... I have a HDTV I got a while back they don't even have it on their site anymore but it is still running perfectly :D never had any issues with my Samsung TVs or computer LCDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I noticed the Sony XBR line just dropped by about $400! Check those out! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted April 28, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2006 i just picked up an HP which is a rebadged sharp. it works great for gaming. sharps also have a game mode, where they turn off all processing to help increase response. one downside of the samsungs is that you cannot turn off DNIE. take a look at the HP LC2600N.

I've been thinking about getting the HP one and using it both as a TV and a PC monitor. Have you tried using it as a monitor? If so, how does it look? I'd appreciate your input. Thanks.

BroChaos Veteran Posted April 28, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2006 it's great for a pc monitor. 1368x768 per pixel mapping, looks very sharp. didn't even need to use powerstrip. the 26" HP is $800, which is a damn good price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlibbyFlobby Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Samsung make awesome monitors. I got a 172x back when everyone was saying LCD's would never be good for gaming because of ghosting etc. Never had one problem with it then, still don't now. Definately get a Samsung monitor. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctebah Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 I went for a samsung 2651, amazing monitor. black and so shiny and the picture couldn't be any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
