Kenbar wrote this on the avs forum as to the correct setting for sharpness while watching 3d blu rays on oleds:

"Not positive, but seems like sharpness 100% = raw (just as is, straight from the source) from what I can tell on LG Oleds. Most Tv's combine edge enhancement and sharpness (and creates issues). But from what I can tell the LG Oleds do not, they have a seperated edge enhancement control depending on the picture mode (I think...might be available in all modes?)

Put on a all digital/transfer movie such as the new 2017 Beauty and the Beast, Guardians of the Galaxy, Passengers (I think) or any recent animated movie...Tangled, Moana, Coco ect (all in 3D for the best image possible, of course)...and they look awesome with sharpness 100%...super clear/clean...and grain free. I even use super resolution high+sharpness 100 and no problem. No halo effect typically associated with the sharpness control (have not tried it with the edge enhancement on). Crystal clear and clean 3D images to my eyes.

But movies like Last Jedi is a film transfer. And there is grain unfortunately. To me it looks like the 3D depth on movies with grain...is always a level below excellent...3D or not, I don't like grain. Last Jedi 3D image quality is pretty darn good, but not the best I have seen. Documentaries like Jerusalem 3D and Mozart 3D rank excellent for the 3D imagery in my book."

He seems to also think not using HDR and lowering oled light number to 45 or so is good idea to stop burn in. Further, use of zoom feature to eliminate black bars is, he says, now recommended by LG to help with burn in issue.
