Sharp LC-46D65U Calibration

  Overview Review Specifications Calibration Shop  

 

Calibration Notes: There was a continual small rise in Gamma testing information through varying ire settings where this result should be a steady even line no matter what the light output. The menu setting adjustments were a little cumbersome and difficult to use. The D65U offered saturation control for each of the primary colors and three secondary colors. However, when it came to balance control, it offered only control over the upper IRE patterns and no controls over the lower. This resulted in a significant error for the lower IRE. Overall, the final calibration was heavy on blue on the bottom IRE and slighly heavy on red on the top IRE. Measured contrast using the checkerboard test pattern showed an average of 41.5 foot lamberts on the white and 0.23 foot lamberts on the black. This calculates close to a post calibration 861 to 1 contrast ratio.

HQV Testing:

HD Background Noise Test: It is important to turn on the Noise Reduction Feature to the medium or high setting in order to reduce background motion artifacts flickering when viewing HD content. After making this adjustment, the unit performed very well.

Video Resolution Loss Test: The rotating bar in this test demonstrated a good bit of of noise with fuzzy edges. This was a mediocre result.

Diagonal Filter (jaggies test): Bars were a little fuzzy when nearing the horizontal axis but generally the result was positive with jaggies kept to a minimum.

Film Resolution Loss Test: Excellent result in this category with no false processing. One of the best results we've seen which will translate into excellent conversion with DVD content and low motion artifacts when displaying video information with lots of conflicting information.
