I'd say this is just going to be subjective. Try it and see. It'll probably look better to you at a low/moderate level.
The potential issue with Sharpness tends to be that you end up with a halo effect on edges. Tends to be very noticeable (and a real negative) if you have a lot of text on screen.
Since most TVs do offer multiple picture modes and/or save settings by input, you can always configure them by purpose.[/quote]
I had my sharpness set to 0 but after some time the image felt like its blurry, like if I need an eyesight check, just not sharp. I bumped it up to 10. I am not sure if that "blurry" image is the real 1080P picture, or if my tv is giving it a slight blur at 0.
I wish TVs were like phone screens, its just pre-calibrated. I never heard anyone mess with his contrast/gamma settings on a phone. Its usually just open-and-use, adjust brightness to your liking.
