"Contrary to popular belief, the "sharpness" setting on your TV doesn't affect the actual sharpness of the displayed image. True sharpness is determined by factors such as screen resolution, source material resolution, and contrast. Instead, the sharpness setting alters the artificial edge enhancement -- a processor-driven adjustment that can introduce unwanted noise and, ironically, distort details in the image. Also: How to clear your TV cache (and why you shouldn't wait to do it) Edge enhancement is designed to make on-screen objects more distinct by emphasizing the boundaries between them, theoretically creating a more lifelike image. However, this feature acts like a universal Instagram filter, potentially leading to an unnatural appearance in some media."
"While it may not be necessary to reduce sharpness to zero, it's generally recommended to turn it down significantly. For most TVs, a sweet spot between five to 10 percent can help achieve a balanced image, although you should experiment to find the level that looks best to you. An important setting to consider adjusting is Motion Smoothing, a frame interpolation feature created to reduce the blurring effect noticeable during fast-paced sequences."
Sharpness on a TV does not change true image detail; true sharpness depends on screen resolution, source resolution, and contrast. The sharpness control applies artificial edge enhancement, which can add noise and distort fine detail. Lowering sharpness to a modest level—often around five to 10 percent—typically produces a more natural image while avoiding overprocessing. Motion Smoothing uses frame interpolation to reduce blurring and judder when film frame rates meet higher TV frame rates, but it can create an overly smooth, unnatural look. Viewers should experiment with settings to find a balanced, accurate picture.
