SHARP: Share Your Custom Display Settings

[crackinhedz]

This thread is intended for members to share their custom picture settings for all SHARP model TV's.


To help make life easier for others...please try to include (but not limited to):

TV Model Number?
Weather it's an ISF Calibrated setting or Disc calibrated setting?
What Input Connection this setting is used for? (ex. HDMI, Component, Composite etc)
What device is connected? (dvd player, bluray player, cable tv ..etc)
What kind of room lighting you have? (dark, dim, bright etc)
Any key features that are turned on or that should be turned off?


Additional Info: *Calibrate Your HDTV*

*Please do not criticize settings being shared...it is a courtesy to those who cannot afford an ISF calibration or do not own a calibration dvd.

*Please also keep in mind that using someone else's settings may look good but it does not necessarily mean it will be ideal for your viewing pleasure and may require some tweaking.

*It is also NOT recommended for anyone to go into the Service Menu to make any adjustments.

Interesting to see that my settings are very different from either of your settings. I tweaked mine by eye and love the results. Seems like both of you like to go in the negatives with the backlight, I keep mine on 0 (STD) and neither of you like to use the brightness while I do.

Great idea for a sticky moderators!

I had my contrast set so high that I nearly burned my retinas watching Sunshine.

hi there,

I have a sharp aquos LC-46X20E. all is set to default and I d like to boost at the maximum PQ for blu ray.
I know discs like "HD basics" or else exist but I am not in the mood to import this... I know there is a thread "calibrate your hdtv" and I tried to do it myself, but I am not convinced ... maybe I just don t get it with english too? lol

if someone has the same TV, could this someone tell me his settings? replying this thread or PMing me

thanks

edit: thanks to mods for grouping threads

I have been driving myself crazy with settings through this site and AVS forum

I have a 46' and had User settings down for awhile, but lately have been unhappy, I was watching Wanted and then Step Brothers and was really noticing the red in skin tones, so I was switching between PC and Movie Mode. I always find movie mode a bit muted, and was really liking PC mode. Natural, bright colors and deep blacks (at least during Step Brothers)Would keeping my PS3 input for games and movies on PC mode have any negative effect for my TV, ie more power drain etc?

[Slec]

have you tweaked the settings or are you just using the modes? You could always bump the temp from warm to cool, but getting the settings dialed in is preferred

[KBMS]

I have tweaked my setting (multiple times) for movie mode and the user settings, but I had switched my movie mode back to the presets.

The useer settings I have are good for HDTV, and I was enjoying them for blu's, but the last few seemed off a bit.

I'll have to try some different settings again.

[Slec]

are you using a disc to calibrate, or just by eye? If at all possible, one should calibrate it by disc for the best results. it will keep you from tweaking based on how bright or dark a movie is.

[KBMS]

ah, great idea, I was going by eye based off of various settings I found here and on AVSForum, but never thought in the context of different movies.

I never thought of a disc as it seemed like I had lots of choice provided, but now I am thinking I might.

I just realized last night, that Sony blus come with an easter egg calibration tool, it was in the Step Brothers insert, I was going to try it tonight, do you think that would be as good as a disc?

Hello to all
I just bought this thing and have it all set. I must say the tv looks great. However I have it at factory settings. I have looked on the internet and have not found any settings. Just wanted to see if anyone had one and what kind of settngs you are running. I have played around and used a few from other sharp models. Thanks for your help

[mroe3469]

I some settings for this TV. When I bought I could not find anything on this TV as far as settings. I believe this TV is only sold at certain locations. I know Best Buy and places like tht do not have this particular model. Anyways hope this might help those of you that may have one and are looking for some display settings. I have not tried it on mine yet but I will when I get home.

Just tried the setting above. I would not use them it made mine look horrible. I also have a very bright room

[mroe3469]

I just bought and have it hooked up. wandering what some of the settings people might be using with this. I have used settings form other sets. I cannot find anthing on the web for this particular set. Thanks in advance

My friend just bought the same set at Costco, the reason you don't see this LCD anywere is cause is an exclusive Costco and I think Sams set I will post back settins once I calibrate his.
