Sharp LE745U Series Picture Settings Calibrations
Calibration for the LE7450U Line
by Robert Wiley, Senior Editor

A television in the process of being calibrated before we begin our review.
Calibration Notes: There are lots of nice picture mode options on the LE745U (see main review page for a breakdown of what each does). We used the Movie mode to calibrate from the 10 point white balance controls. D65K was not hard to come by and the TV is consistent enough from dead straight on, but moving even 10 degrees off center results in color shift and would destroy our calibration results.
