Sharpness control on the V10 - Blu-ray Forum

xneox · 08-03-2009, 01:30 AM

I calibrated the V10 today using the DVE disc, and part of it is sharpness adjustment...you pretty much stand close to the tv while displaying this screen and adjust sharpness up until you see artifacts, then dial it down just until they disappear:

I got to 100 with no artifacts, then dropped back to 0 and the apparent 'sharpness' didn't change. However, when I watch satellite programming through another HDMI input, I can see the sharpness adjustment doing something, albeit subtle.

Has anyone else with the V10 (or G10/15/another 2009 Panny) done the calibration and noticed this? When I did the 800u, the artifacts were very apparent at a certain point when using the DVE screen, so something is definitely different.

just turn in all the way down. The setting means nothing on most new plasmas.

Yeah, I left it at 0, because there was no difference.

But it seems to do a tiny amount on the Dish input...I just wonder what it's for if it really isn't doing much...and why it changed from the 800 series to now.

For BD, It's not needed. For SD programming, I'd say it helps.

I'm not sure it matters at all with any HDMI-connected content. I put mine at 0 the other day and noticed that my component connected DVD player was a bit soft, but not to the point where it looked bad. If anything, it looked a little more natural, showcasing less compression artifacts from the DVD.
