I was torned between these 2 sets as well last month. I got Samsung LA32R71B instead becoz of price. I paid RM4180 (cash). You might wanna bargain more if you going for samsung. I'm very satisfied with the performance of it. I hook up my HTPC to watch downloaded TV shows, play Xbox360 and watch Astro. HTPC and astro is a blast but Astro not that nice, need to sit at sofa distance to not notice some pixelations.

Can't comment much on sharp but it has all the good ingredients to handle wad you need (6ms or 8ms response time, 1200:1 contrast).

You might wanna check out another version of this model where its speaker is at the bottom instead of the side. Its cheaper than the side speaker version. Can be an option if you already have a home theater system.
Don't think you will see much difference on any TV smaller than 40". If I'm not wrong the games are not render in 1080p resolutions as well.

If I were you I'd take the Aquos. Although the samsung has a higher [Dynamic] contrast, the Aquos isn't far back. Twin HDMI inputs is a plus. A higher response time for your gaming is good. Samung's DNIe sometimes lag games, well, yeah sometimes.

I'd take the Aquos, but it's your choice.

Ye' Know
