Sharp's LC-32GP3U gamer LCD in living color

Sharp was liberal with the specs this morning on its new LC-32GP3U gamer-centric LCD, but left out the press shots -- our favorite part. All is mended now, and while the design isn't particularly stunning, we remain wholeheartedly in support of the hardware on this 32-inch 1080p set. More shots after the break.

I like the red one.

[newgalactic @ Dec 6th 2007 6:53PM]

Wow, that'll go great with my Orange walls!!!
/sarcasm

Seriously, I didn't know "gamer" meant "garish lack of taste". How am I supposed to integrate a red TV into my entertainment center? Having a white 360 and a black PS3 would be bad enough.

OMG, without,like, matching colors, the techno-fashion policy are going to totally call you out.

Chuckles, buy a $1500 tv, $400 360, and $450 PS3 and tell me you aren't going to take color into consideration. We're not talking matching my "free" Razor to my shoes.

Wow.. that red one looks like a giant Etch-a-Sketch

:/

Oh my god, after you said that it really does lol. A tv looking like that is more for 4 yr olds then a gamer lol.

I wish Sharp would lose the ugly grey chin on their LCD TVs...the grey chin just doesn't seem to fit.

[ratnikh @ Dec 6th 2007 7:22PM]

I think that's the "speaker bar"... maybe? But yeah, it would look better in black, or matched to the bezel color.

I have to agree with newgalactic above... it seems like every time a big company makes something supposedly aimed at gamers they make it fugly as hell or think making it in primary colors is gamer-oriented.

[Jeff @ Dec 6th 2007 8:04PM]

Actually ratnikh, Sharp's previous LCD TVs for gamers (LC-32GP1U, LC-37GP1) were not in primary colors...Actually the GP1 was ALL black...didn't have fugly colors or a fugly grey speaker chin. It was the best looking Sharp in their lineup actually cause it was the only one that didn't have that stupid grey chin...it was black...how it should of been in the first place.

[Joya @ Dec 6th 2007 8:31PM]

that's pretty hideous.

[rv @ Dec 6th 2007 8:43PM]

If they're making it specifically for gamers it should come with a free year supply of cheetos and porn magazines.

[Dean @ Dec 6th 2007 9:11PM]

who uses mags anymore? isn't that why god invented the internet?

[Backlin @ Dec 6th 2007 9:13PM]

Man, this Sharp doesn't even look sharp.

[FXi @ Dec 6th 2007 9:41PM]

2560x1900 and I'd have jumped on it.

[Trick @ Dec 6th 2007 10:05PM]

It would look decent hanging on a wall, the stand needs work. I only hope the speaker bar is not wrapped in nylon or whatever that speaker sh!t is so I can paint it.

For the record, I will be buying this is replace my ancient Samsung 32' 1080i POS.

[Al H @ Dec 6th 2007 11:32PM]

Hey Trick, can I have your ancient Samsung 32" 1080i POS? If you saw what I game on right now you'd piss your pants laughing.

[blueeyesm @ Dec 7th 2007 3:12PM]

Al H,

Notice he said foot (') instead of inch (").

Sounds like his screen resolution is not 1920 x 1080.

[Sabba @ Dec 7th 2007 1:00AM]

and it will only cost you $1500!!!!

[fatside @ Dec 7th 2007 1:15PM]

They should have put two big round knobs on either side so that we could draw pictures with it, one knob to make the line go up or down, and the other knob to make the line go left to right.

Maybe, they could put grey hair on the top of the monitor so that it could have grey hair with its grey chin.

What an ugly monitor. I think they should promote the guy that came up with that design so that they can get him out of that department. Maybe, put him in the deparment of chip egonomics. At least, then the ugly chip he would develop would be hidden from view.

[fatside @ May 16th 2008 4:49AM]

I would never buy it no matter how good it might be because of what Jeff just posted, the ugly grey chin. Why do these monitor companies do such stupid things, like put that ugly grey chin under the monitor. I would never buy a monitor like that. I don't even want speakers installed on it. If I want speakers, I would just buy good quality and powerful ones, not the cheap $5 speakers that they put in the monitors. Don't they do any research?

I am a gamer. I just sold my Dell 2405 because there are better monitors out there. I just ordered the Dell 2405WFP-HC. I didn't want another Dell, but I just couldn't find anything any better for gaming or that looked as nice. If this monitor looked better, I would sell the new monitor on EBAY and buy this one, but this monitor looks terrible.
