"SD Viewing
Using 480i from the afore mentioned SA8300 box via HDMI, the PQ on digital SD was anywhere from good to very good. (Outstanding being used for HD 1080i and fantastic being reserved for HD DVD at 1080i - just to give you a sense of my scale). Viewing Sd in 4:3 from about 7ft proved to be very watchable and stretched (using Sharp's smart stretch - which is excellent and beats the Panny just mode) using a good SD source was also very good. Poor SD sources were okay and certainly no worse than your prior CRT - stretching poor sources (Sd) at 7ft was enough pretty ugly. At 10 ft or better - all the SD sources looked pretty good stretched and most will find the SD PQ on this set to very watchable. The color space is pretty good and loss of color, red push does not become any more evident in viewing a 1080i source. It would have been nice of Sharp to allow us to adjust the color space for SD/HD sources as it clearly recognized tham and allows adjusting the color space elsewhere. I could not find a way to do this. Not that any other set does - just would have been nice I did not see where the noise reduction setting added any benefit. And it is also not in the PQ settings but under yet a completely different menu window. Sharp really should be shot for their poor menu and settings layout. It did not appear ay worse - or better.
You guys will have to ask specific questions on SD as I really do not pay much attention to it. Digital SD was for the most very good at almost all times and needless to say upconverted SD DVD (via my HD DVD were somewhere shy of fantastic)
1080i/720p Video
Using typical HD stations - Anywhere from excellent to very good. Discovery as usual had some stellar material and recent recordings of the Sea and Antartica were without question just unbelieveable. Very litttle mosquito noise (although at 2-3 ft one could see it) and same with macroblocking. Pans were clean and pixelation was not an issue. The footballs games to day were another story. While motion was not an issue - on several feeds there was a very noisy picture simply loaded with macroblcoking and mosquito noise. I ran my Panny Ed at the same time and found the feed to be the issue. However 52" of 1080p screen emphasized it and while watchable - was kinda irritating. It would go away and then return. At 10ft back not as much of an issue - at 7ft...I wanted to clobber the camerman, station and all those responsible for sending us garbage!!! Switching to the next game - PQ would then improve. Clearly this is a source and feed issue. But at 52" - the Sharp - just like all the other stellar 1080 sets out there is gonna emphasize the garbage you get from the overcompressed poorly shot video. NR and nothing I could touch on the set played it down much. Was this an overwhelming majority of the material...no...but if you shold be in your local BB when this is on - you will not get this set if that ends up being your only "viewing"!
Solid 1080i/720p material - was consistantly very good to excellent and made you appreciate the size of the display. Especially at 7ft where one could really appreciate all the detail.
I saw little difference in good 720p versus 1080i. 1080i tended to be a bit sharper - well and the colors were better/brighter and certainly more appealing than say FOX. We watched baseball/football and some recorded basketball and a bit of the Olympics. At no time did I see anything that could be considered motion blur that I would attribute to the display. (For those that have seen some of the pans done across the football field - that is the source and not the set!!!) I tried the 4ms setting and where I already had a not so good 1080i feed - in my mind it made it worse. Where the feed was excellent - I saw no difference. By worse - it introduced additional noise and macro blocking into the picture - on an excellent picture I could not discern that anything improved - I also did not see any negative effects. For the most part I left it off today. Many of the ball games looked great and I can't wait to watch tomorrow - and I mean watch the games and not the TV PQ
HD DVD
This is why you get one of these sets. OMG...Fantastic...Bloody wonderful. and yes - it is hyperbole...But the Sharp - when fed a really good source - just smokes anything less. I have seen the lsser size compeitors be equally as good. I have not seen them at 52" I wanted to watch all my HD DVD's again. Since I have not yet seen Batman Returns - I refused to watch more than 5 minutes - but yes...it is that good. If Sharp wanted to sell these sets to the masses - put in BR on an HD DVD and let it play. At 52" - you want more, bigger and closer. There really is nothing else to add here. If you end up with this set - you owe it to yourself to feed it some 1080i goodness, set it in dot by dot and well...you will lose the ability to play or tweak anymore. Thank God I was pretty much done for the day when I started with the HD DVD's. I lost my set then Upconverted DVD's looked quite good. I have been very happy with my A1 - paired with the Sharp - I am ecstatic
Mac & PS's
Despite what the manual says - the Sharp DOES take a 1080p input via HDMI - using dot by dot gives you 1:1 pixel mapping and there is NO overscan. Addiitonally you have the choice of colorspace to use as I reported earlier.RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4 or YCbCr 4:2:2
We also spend some time (okay my son and his friend) playing with their super duper PC's and they all connected without an issue at 1080p. However trying 1080p24 appeared to be more problematic. I thought I was seeing film based material and that they had actually got this working. However I was assured that they "faked" it out and could not get it to synch properly. the boys thought it hasd something to do with their settings and the Sharp timing. I got tired of them playing with this after about 45 minutes and my friends son is gonna bring over the "dedicated" HTPC they use at home for viewing this material and try again tomorrow. Apparently they thought they were close.
So - sorry folks - at the moment it does not appear to accept 1080p24, but will try again tomorrow.
PC usage at 52" from 7 ft is just great and since I can scale my web browser - no problem sitting and posting or reading forums Hey I did it earlier! The kids ran some games WOW and a few others which bored me to tears - but the dragons or whatever they were looked great and they assured me they were fine and there was no motion blur. They got into some discussion that went along the lines of how many frames are you getting - can your card do it and man look at it on this set - no mine is slow - no its your card dude.
My gist of the conversation was that if your card can handle the action - the set certainly can.
XBOX360
if it gets better than this - No one in my family is gonna be at work or school No motion blur - colors, brightness - detail was fantastic. Oblivion, Kamero and Tiger Woods and Call of Duty were all tried. It becomes very hard to pull yourself away...You guys have seen xbox360 before - now do it 1080p goodness on 52".... Brilliant!
Moviebeam
480p was pretty good. Movie beam actually does a pretty decent job of this. I did not like the 480p PQ on this set over my Panny. It is marginally better on the Panny. Simply too soft. Moviebeam 720p is nothing to write home about - and on a 1080p panel was just too soft and washed out looking. This is one source that displays much better on my Panny than the Sharp. Not bad - but your not gonna drop thousands on this set if this is your source."
