myself.

ISF calibration would almost cost as much as the TV itself.

Sticky: Calibrate Your HDTV

OTHER BRANDS: Share Your Custom Display Settings

My settings are in there, but I watch in a fairly dark room....so your viewing may require your own personal adjustments.

my 32" vizio I like a lot, it is now in the kids room, but for a long time i had it in the computer room to play video games on & hooked up to an upconverter dvd player, it always looked good, and for TV when on the computer. I liked playing video games on the vizio more then my sammy, also the pic on the 32" vizio is better then the pic on the 42" vizio in my bedroom... Go figure?!?

I don't think there is too much of a difference between these two tv's as far as PQ, but I suggest you look at the 2 of them.

Chances are.... it being your first hdtv...... you will be thrilled with it any way you go. It will be a while before you learn to see the flaws and evaluate the picture quality of various sets.

I bought that 26" Vizio for my mother in law who lives in a nursing home. It's nice for what I paid for it and does a good job with SD which is all she can hook up to it. (I got her an hdtv because they are limited to 19" crt's or 26" flat screens in the home.) If you won't have an hd source other than your PS3 and will be watchin any quantity of SD television on it...... you may want to ask them to play some SD material to see how well it handles it because some hdtv's make SD look like butt.

Bottom line? Either will be better than your current sdtv, so most likely you will be happy with it; so go for size.
