Sharp LC42D64U Recalibrate and Enjoy!

With a bit of simple recalibration the Aquos LC42D64U will live up to all of your expectations. Turn to page 26 of the owners manual and adjust the picture to your liking. I reduced the backlight by a few clicks and increased the contrast and tint slightly. Your viewing conditions and own preferences will determine what looks best for you. I also recommend turning on the Fine Motion function shown on page 27 of the manual. This will ensure the TV achieves the 4ms Response Time as advertised. The last thing to double check is that your cable or satellite signal is set at a full 1080i -- check your HD-DVR manual for details. With these quick and easy steps taken care of I tuned into the Vikings/Raiders football game live in HD on CBS and WOW was I impressed. The picture was crystal clear, bright but not overwhelming. Even the fastest moving action was sharp and crisp, the colors saturated and vibrant. I can honestly say the Aquos is everything I hoped it would be. All it took was just a little fine tuning.
