#Sharp hdtv dot by dot setting 480p#
The 480i and 480p sharpness patterns were also good, though as expected quite soft compared to 1080i. I used a Sharpness setting of -4 for most program material. At 720p, the line was noticeably softer-though this had not been evident on the multiburst patterns (above). While the component line was cleanest at a Sharpness setting of -2, the HDMI looked best at -7. The standard definition responses at 480i and 480p were satisfactory overall in both black and white and color, though again a bit better in component than in HDMI.Ī sharpness pattern at 1080i, in either HDMI or component, produced a superbly crisp 1-pixel line.
But given a reasonable color response, which the Sharp has, it's the luminance response that dominates the detail we see, and the Sharp's HD luminance response is superb. The color response was slightly less impressive, but still good (and surprisingly a bit better, at its best, in component than HDMI at 1080i). The multiburst luminance (black and white) response of the Sharp (as displayed from my AccuPel HDG-3000 test pattern generator) was excellent over both HDMI and component to the maximum 37.1MHz luma burst. Adequate, but not cutting-edge.Įxcept as noted, all measurements were taken in the settings shown in "Settings," above.
The measured contrast ratio and black level were fair. On-site, aftermarket calibration is not possible. The set's color is respectable out of the box in the Low setting, but not ideal. The images were sharp, clear, and detailed, limited only by the quality of the program material.
The Sharp's measured resolution was arguably the best we've seen from a single-piece display of any description.
