LCD Television and Image Tearing

So my family knew I had been wanting to buy a new TV for awhile. Everyone gave me cash for my birthday and told me to go buy a new TV which I did. I got a pretty good deal on a 32" Sharp Aquos 720p (At the 32" size, I really couldn't tell a big enough difference to pay the premium for 1080p in that size range. This is a bedroom TV.) All the reviews sounded good on it, so I assumed it was a safe buy. I was worried about "ghosting" but I have yet to run across it. I hooked the PS3 up to it and have played several games (COD4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Madden 2008) and everything looked good. I traded my XBox 360 in for an XBox 360 Elite (I had an old version without HDMI and a refurbished 20GB hard drive.). I played Halo 3 from start to finish and didn't have a problem. What I've noticed though is when playing Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda (It came with the Elite, heh. And I've already finished Kung Fu Panda
) is that there are tearing issues. Is this the Television or just the game? Has anyone else experienced similar issues? I haven't gotten around to hooking it up to the 60" 1080p television yet to see if it does the same thing. Its more annoying than really affecting game play. I just thought it was weird that it was only happening with those two games.
And if anyone wants to add me, my Live ID is louiswalker1980.

Live ID? That's the same as your Xbox Live name, yes? If so, you can add a whole whack of us by lookin' at the sticky in this forum

Tearing is a game-specific issue. It's not the TV's fault.

I think we should have a poll on whos real life webcam pic is more disturbing, Nev or Louis...
Then, we should all get webcam avatars.

Mental looks like a wigger who just woke up (just an observation, man; no insult intended) while Louis looks like a creepy bouncer who's pissed off at you.
I'd go with Louis

That picture was actually taken after drinking a fifth of Vodka the night before and I was up over 36 hours straight before getting a few hours sleep. I was somewhere in the mountains of Virginia with my ex-girlfriend. I think we were at her aunt's hours or something. She went off talking with her family and left me with the camera. So I just started taking pictures of myself.
I know. I'm weird.

They're both disturbing, but Mental's is worse by far. I don't understand why either of them do it... I'm not against using your real face as an avatar, but how about using one that's less fucking creepy/disturbing?

I never realized my avatar was creepy/disturbing. Now that you mention it though, I like being creepy/disturbing.
