Most people are used to the factory provided torch mode/excessive
sharpness and just realize how really good a toned down picture can look,
be it analog or digital TVs.


In digital, the sharpness control does absolutely nothing to the program
material or monitor. All it does is to introduce artificial "edge"
artifacts to the display that are not in the original program source, giving
some people the false illusion that the picture is "sharper". It reminds me
of using a loudness control or over-emphasizing treble in an audio system.
Increasing sharpness on a digital source program not necessary and can
actually make the picture worse.
