Many people mistakenly think that increasing the sharpness can make the screen sharper and have a habit of maximizing sharpness on the TV. But the fact is that when you increase the sharpness, it merely increases the edge of the image, it gives a "fake" feel when viewed.

On most newer TVs today, when you increase the sharpness, the edges will be brightened with a thin or bright coating around. For example, in the following example, it can be seen that buildings are covered with a bright border after the user increases the sharpness index.

As for Sony's recent models, you can adjust it to zero to make the image softer, or adjust it below 50 on some LG TVs.

For other TVs, you can fine-tune the TV's sharpness to one or two levels from zero, or to half up on the focus bar.
