Sharp LC-C4067UN AQUOS 1920 x 1080 Full HD 1080p LCD HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi,
This TV is by no means perfect, but I think it's good value for 1080p. I was a bit paranoid about the TV being 60Hz vs 120Hz, but have found no major issues. I have the TV about 4 weeks and have watched football, ice hockey, track and field and a few blue ray movies on a PS3 and saw no major problems. The film mode in the advanced menu also seems to handle the 3:2 pull down of cable 1080i HD movies very well, so this option should be switched on (see below). 480i also looks pretty good after calibration.
On to calibration.
Out of the box, the settings are not optimal (are they ever). For calibration, I followed a guide from CurtPalme, henceforth known as "Kal's Guide".
This guide helps you to adjust grayscale and color to get a professional grade calibration. To use Kal's Guide, you need:
1. The ColorHCFR software (free download).
2. An external color meter.I used Eye-One Display 2 (I'm a serious
amateur photographer and already owned it for computer
monitor calibration).
3. A calibration DVD; Digital Video Essentials-HD Basics,
(I used the Blue Ray version), OR, AVS HD 709 calibration disk (free download).
The AVS HD 709 software is burned on a regular DVD but you need a Blue Ray player to play it. Note, if you use this, you need to identify the correct greyscale patterns yourself.
This TV has no RGB adjustments for brightness or contrast (called RGBLowEnd and RGBHighEnd in Kal's Guide, sometimes known as RGB bias and RGB gain), so this portion of the grayscale calibration had to be skipped. However, the CMS system allows individual adjustment of RGB for value (brightness), hue and saturation, which is much better than a simple color and hue adjustment.
First off, I ran through both grayscale and primary/secondary color calibrations with the factory settings to see where I was at. I used the default "User" picture settings as the starting point. If you're not interested in the technical details, skip this section and scroll down to the section RECOMMENDED CALIBRATION SETTINGS FOR LC-C4067UN. Here is a summary of the results with the out-of the box "User" settings.
The deltaE (% error from D65) values for 0 IRE to 100 IRE were as follows:
0 IRE: 123.8%, 10 IRE: 27.4%, 20 IRE: 28.4%, 30 IRE: 28.6%, 40 IRE: 30.6%, 50 IRE: 30.1%, 60 IRE: 29.8%, 70 IRE: 30.2%, 80 IRE: 29.7%, 90 IRE: 26.9%, 100 IRE: 22.7%.
