No the 120hz feature has nothing to do with sharpness either. 120hz feature just means that your TV has a display rate of 120 frames per second.

Most people tend to set the sharpness setting too high believing that they're getting the best possible picture when in actuality they're not.

Picture settings do matter when you're talking about having the best possible viewing experience. If this is important to you than I'd invest in a calibration blu-ray or use one of the blu-rays that has a calibration tool to help you calibrate your T.V.

Of course you can watch any TV out of the box but that doesn't mean it's been calibrated to your viewing environment.

The calibration blu-ray I was referring to was one like this....(I've never used this one)

There are some blu-rays that have a generic calibration tool like Ratatouille and Casino Royale. Either one of these are sufficient ways to calibrate your T.V. without having to spend top $$$$.

Basically you just load the disc and follow the directions. It will guide you through how to set your contrast, color, tint, etc. based on your viewing environment.

Try setting your sharpness to about 20. I have a Samsung and have found that to work nicely. Also, you should look for a calibration disc and adjust the settings to a more reasonable one than those presets they have. A properly adjusted television will work wonders.
