32" HDTV comparison

[Foxhound54]

Hi all,

Since I've been surfing this forum for awhile, and have noticed that there seem to be some people with far more HDTV experience then me, I was hoping to get some feedback. I've been looking at:

http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-Aquos-LC32D62U-1080p-HDTV/dp/B000NEDYEC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200675738&sr=8-1

But, scrolling down Amazon's page a little more reveals:

http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-Aquos-LC32GP1U-1080p-Gaming/dp/B000NKAYWG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200675738&sr=8-2

and:

As far as I can tell, the only difference between the 1st and the 2nd and 3rd seems to be the inclusion of the "Vyper" game drive. Does anyone know anything about these three? Is there a reason I should pay $100-$200 more for the second or third choices over the first? The TV's mainly going to be used for watching cable and playing my 360, not for a HD home theater, so I'd like to keep the cost lower (being a poor college student), but still get something that's pretty future-proofed. Thanks in advance for all the help!

for around the price of the 3rd one you can get a 40 inch 1080p set.

We sell the first one where I work, and a friend/co-worker recently bought it. He said it was really good for gaming and watching Blu Rays on it. Perhaps the 2nd or 3rd would be better, but he seemed satisfied with #1. Although he said that Cable TV looked like shit on it. Due to the fact that an LCD does not handle an analog cable signal very well. Just something to consider.
