Thanks so much for the help! Sorry last question, a little weird maybe you'll know it if not I'm going to call anyway later today and try to do it.

Is there any way I can go to the store, buy this unit with cash(same store I think you're talking about) and ship it to my house? Do I have to pay tax this way vs buying it online? I guess I don't mind paying tax but kind of sucks since I just got a speeding ticket and it's a little more money out my pocket than I intended but well, you live and you learn. It's an extra 114 dollars with tax too.

I can't buy it on my credit card, don't want my parents knowing I'm buying a huge as **** TV and they can see all my purchases.

You will have to discuss that with them ,but usually if you pay in cash @ a B&M then you gotta pay taxes

I just picked one of these up last weekend. The build date is listed as Sept 2011 which seems like it has been sitting for awhile, but I noticed that the s/n sticker on the side of the box has a -B in the lower right coner. Also the stickers on the packing for the remote etc all have a -B-. Are all the s/n's like that or does it indcite it was refurbished (B-stock)? It was sold as new.

The sticker on the side of the box with the build date and s/n has a "-B" in the lower right corner. The sticker on the bag for the remote was also marked with the s/n with "-B" below it.

Not likely. I can almost guarantee mine was brand new. I think that letter was misinterpreted to mean something it is not.

One thing I forgot to ask. Did anyone get email confirmation when they registered their television on line? I did not. The last time I purchased a Sharp was 5 years ago and I can't remember if they sent one then.

1. Unplug your set
2. While holding vol down and input buttons on your set, plug unit back in. The set should turn on and you will see a blue box with a K in it on the left hand side of your screen
3. Push Vol down and Channel down buttons at the same time on the set. You should now be in service menu.
4. With the remote controle, push the arrow down button 1 time.
5. Look for factory init.
6. Arrow right to turn it on.
7. Press enter, or ok on the remote. You should see some //////. Wait a minute and you should should get a solid green screen that says Factory Init Success.
8. Unplug TV. Wait 30 sec's
9. Plug back in and power up. You should be at first time set up.

Hey Walt,

This is actually a complete reset and start over, I spent many hours with this one tweaking and refining it until MY 632 could get no closer on every single aspect. It's a real balancing act when you have a CMS that does not function 100% properly and you have factory deficiencies that you simply have to accept and deal with. Next on the list is to go at Game mode once again and tweak it until there's nothing left that can be done.

Basically I changed out a blu ray player (Sony S580 to S780) and wanted to see if there were any variables with the new player since it uses a different chip than the previous unit. The players did indeed have slight variances so I figured I may as well give it another go (I actually enjoy doing calibrations and obviously the more you work with a particular display the more you know about it). Plus I knew having yet another CAL out there could increase the chances of somebody finding a CAL they like out of the 3 I have posted.

Hope they can add some enjoyment and more people get hooked on something more accurate, the more people that get into DIY calibration or have in-home pro calibrations the better.

Jason

OK; I've got 'em in there. Why such big changes in CMS-SAT?

Also, I noticed that hockey, with your previous Movie settings, is rather dim. I know you mentioned that hockey should always be watched in Game...will the latest set of Game settings that you are working on be good for hockey?

I'll be interested to compare your "latest and greatest" Movie and Game settings.

Thanks again, Jason!!

What should you clean the screen with? There is nothing in the manual regarding this.

Walt,

Basically different methods or the order in which the process is done can result in different settings even though the end goal is the same. With sets like these 632's basically you have check, re-check and then check again after each round since the settings do not hold as they would on a display with proper controls (each adjustment can alter another).

Movie mode does indeed have processing/lag that cannot be 100% disabled so Game is still the best all around mode (especially for sports/gaming). I'll probably work on Game mode over the next week and if the end result is superior to my previous Game mode settings I'll post them up.

Jason

I like ScreenDRx and have been using it for a while on many displays with zero issues. Make sure the display is turned off when you clean it and never spray any cleaner directly onto the screen, always spray it onto the microfiber cloth.
