Can anybody help me calibrate my sharp aquos 46" tv?

Question

i just bought a sharp aquos lc-46d64u lcd hdtv and i noticed that that default settings are just that:deafault. can anybody help me calibrate it to the apprpiorate settings. I recieve digital signals and watch digital tv most of the time but around 35% of the time i play ps3 with a hdmi cable.

so can anybody help me?

Answer 1

Order the BluRay copy of "Digital Video Essentials". It has test-patterns and a tutorial that takes you through how to set the brightness/contrast/color/etc.

Each device is different so once you calibrate the PS3 with this disk, then you have to go to your "digital tv" input and eyeball the settings to match.

(Many times - each input has separate settings)

You can hire an ISF Calibrationist to come in and do this for you, but it's a few hundred dollars.

Answer 2

Your remote should have a "menu" button. Does it?

I have your manual online and will take a look

Manual - http://www.sharpusa.com/files/tel_man_LC...  (PDF format)

Try page 26 of this manual for settings.

Note, this will adjust the settings for your CURRENT INPUT selection. Thus, if you wish to adjust the PS3 settings, select that input for your TV and then go through the video settings that you prefer. My TV has a "Game" setting that you can choose for any input.

============= Instructions =============

Press "menu" then press < or > to select "Picture"

Press the up OR down arrow key to select your adjustment.

Press < or > to make the adjustment.

Press "menu" to exit.

Let your eye be your guide.
