So who measures accurately? Or the most accurately between Sharp, Sammy, and LG?

Who knows for sure. You have to look at the fine print for any model in the specs or call them to know for sure which method they use.

This is the problem with non-standardized specs for these TVs. I can almost bet that the really low quoted specs are using the method that is not as accurate, Gray to Gray, to measure it, but i wouldn't know other than a 4ms and lower seems fishy to me.

So would you think a LG 32" with 4ms response is not accurate?

i found a better price on this TV btw for like 700 bucks.

and what is the accurate way to measure it and the inaccurate way?

I said previously that measuring the time from black to white to black again is slower so it should be compared to other displays that use the same method. Ditto if they use gray to white to gray as the method to measure it.

You must compare apples to apples or know you are not comparing like measured displays. Which is more accurate? Since all things in a moving picture CAN have black in it, I would think that black to white to black is more representative of real world use myself.

You will have to research HOW LG measures that spec and then compare to other displays that measure with the same method to know which is faster.

It really is too bad there cannot be standards required for the mfg to follow here, but AFAIK there is not.

EDIT:

This is WHY you cannot just accept the specs on retailers web sites:

http://us.lge.com/products/model/detail/tv|audio|video_lcd%20flat%20panel__32LG70.jhtml

Under the specs tab for this display at the mfg site it says the response rate is 6.5ms and they say it is using G to G which is gray to white to gray. Using that method means it is overstating the speed based on my reasoning earlier in this post.

You need to check the mfg site for your model number you are interested in to find HOW they measure response times and what it truly is.

Ah that clears things up thanks.

yes they do need some sort of regulation on that. It is almost impossible to find out what the ms is just quickly on the internet.

Stealth27 · 12-08-2008, 06:29 PM

Now i think im down to the Sammy and Sharp but i just dont know on them. The ms is killing me.

I think i am leaning toward the sharp now.

Hey, if you haven't made your purchase yet, consider the Toshiba Regza 32RV530U. I just picked one up for about $600. It's got nice specs and 1080p. Any opinions on this model from other folks?

Stealth27 · 12-09-2008, 11:38 PM

Thanks for the input but i think im going to go with the Sharp

Anyone have the Sharp Aquos LC-32GP3U and can comment on the performance of it?
