I’ve owned the Sharp Aquos LC37GP1U LCD Gaming HDTV since March and overall, I’ve been very impressed with it. The LC37GP1U was designed specifically for gaming with a feature called the “Viper Drive”, which reduces lag and response times associated with LCDs to imperceptible levels.

For those of you coming to this site looking for PS3 themes, I apologize.

I had plans to put together a site where people can download free themes, but haven’t had the time for it. I hope to get something up in the next few months for the post holiday PS3 owners.

I’ll be picking up a 40GB version myself.

Go Sony!
