Yes sir, I've tried ALL modes, all configurations. I played with it for about 3 hours yesterday. I'm fed up with it. I have very little patience for this sort of thing. It shouldn't be some top secret squirrel handshake/call sign to get SOE to stop. I really do like the TV, but can't stand the SOE. It's going back.....

then you should return it, and I'm sorry a tv has gotten you so frustrated. on my set, SOE on is controlled by film mode being on. might you be seeing something else?

smooth motion is related to what resolutions you feed the set. for me, with cable, outputing 1080i to the display works. Another poster determined that passing 720p or 1080p60 is problematic wrt jerky motion, no matter what other display settings you adjust. bluray outputting native formats also works fine.

I wouldn't say I'm "so frustrated", you're suggesting I'm emotionally distressed? LOL. I am returning it. I just feel as if I shouldn't have to research for hours and jump through hoops to turn off certain features or change settings on my cable box to a less than optimal setting. I WANTED to like this TV, I just don't care for the SOE,or having to switch to game mode when the kiddo and I play the Wii, PS3, or the Xbox. Too inconvenient. I will say, the off axis viewing blows the Samsung TV out of the water.

Have you tried switching the 3D depth adjustment to Auto. It does wonders for the 3D. it's still not perfect (there's still some ghosting here and there) but it's far better than any of the manual adjustments since it keeps correcting itself on the fly.

I played with it a little bit, but the ghosting was pretty bad. The TV is now packed up waiting for pick up today. The new TV (Samsung 8000) will be delivered when the old one is picked up.

Thank you for the suggestion though.

I gave up, The jerky motion and controls that do nothing (movie mode and motion enhancement) were just too much.
IMHO, Sharp has some serious design and quality control issues.
So now Best Buy is sending me a Panasonic Viera 65" VT 50 model.

Watching hockey. 847 is much better on every level than the 745.

Took most of the day but I finally got my calman license, too late for tonight, I'll calibrate tomorrow.

Bought the 847OU despite some reservations afetr reading 40+ pages here....Got it for a good price.

Saw clouding when viewing the TV in the bottom right corner, and somewhat less in other areas.

Messed around with various AVS user settings...

Daytime, TV viewing is acceptable I guess as I really don't notice the clouding much.

Bought some BluRays, put in the Dark Knight rises and I am really thinking I may have to start a case with Sharp, it's to noticeable on this dark looking BluRay...Even after attempted adjustments.

I know some pages back it was detailed about what type and how many pics to take and send, suppose it's time to do some reading. Hope the process of returning/replacing this set isn't a hassle....

Pics shortly.

Does the 1st picture show a huge amount of clouding comparative to what others here are posting? And if so after doing a "Quick Calibration" it would appear in your following 2 pics that the clouding is non existent? Did you have to use "Pro" grade tools and "Software" to apply CGGOrmans numbers and settings? or did you just use the available software/menu's the TV comes with?

Im debating on if my clouding issues are bad enough to warrant a R/R....

That first picture is not typical of anything because there is *SO* much reflection that you can't really tell what's clouding and what is reflection. You can even see him there holding the camera. I wonder what other conditions in the room changed between pictures.

You don't need any pro tools for adding CGGorman's settings. You just do it from the menu. I'll repost them here because his posts were so long ago but everything from here on is his post.

GAMING SETTINGS

I picked sRGB color space for the gamut along with video levels (16-235).
Max luminance is about 60 ftL and gamma is set to 2.0
Sharp seems to have locked in a wide gamut for this mode. I couldn't get the green color point dialed back quite enough to measure in-spec, but for video games I figure its more than close enough. Gran Turismo 5 looks good.

I sacrificed some black level for additional luminance at the bottom end. This is how my boys prefer it for darker games like Skyrim or Nazi Zombies

Since we play in all ambient lighting conditions, I thought I would try OPC. Seems to work OK so far.

This set has very very little clouding and no flashlighting.


The room has a giant window under the 14' ceiling.



I have used nothing but the menu to calibrate it so far. I am waiting for it to warm up before I give my first go at calman with meter.

Thanks for taking the time to post his settings I have already written them down and tried them along with various others settings, with good results.

I also realized there was a lot of reflection and light in that 1st picture so figured it wasn't an accurate representation of clouding, still thought I saw some though.

I will post pics tonight of my clouding and see what others think. In a dark room, with a movie that has a lot of black scenes, the clouding in the right lower left (When looking at TV) is bothersome. In daylight, with normal tv viewing, it's un-noticeable.

Ugh!@#$%^&*

No clouding, reflection from the window & apple logo on my MacBook.

I tried to use calman, It's a bit offputting. It does not tell you what panel from the disks it came with to use for the different tests nor what to change to make the changes it shows are needed.

I need to do more research apparently.

Where are these settings:

I don't have 10 like that.

Under the "Color Temp" I believe you select 10Pt. scale to on...Then the first box below that has [Position#] in it, you can toggle this to the right to go through the 1-10 positions, you would select position number one, then go down and adjust the various R-G-B Levels, doing this 10 times for each position.

After reading, adjusting, re-adjusting, etc. I will be returning the set. I've used recommended settings & calibrated with calibration programs available on this site. This set is ok, but clouding on scenes in dark bluray & HD broadcasts is not a compromise I care to live with.

Understanding there are compromises with every set, it just strikes me as fundamentally wrong to invest in reasonably new technology & then spend hours researching how to defeat features in order to obtain the desired result. Further, with the 2013 sets rolling out I doubt there will be much investment in firmware updates going forward. Even those won't address issues inherent with edge lit sets or at least Sharp's.

I believe the set is now a close out & presents a good value for a big (70") screen if it meets your viewing requirements - it just isn't working for me.

I recall reading a post within this thread that detailed exactly what type of pictures Sharp wants of the clouding, it seemed like they wanted a lot of very specific pictures? And the process was a very detailed, long ordeal....For the life of me I cannot locate that post to start gathering the pictures I need in preparation of calling and starting a warranty/replacement claim, does anyone here know what Im looking for, or could point me in the right direction.....Im pretty sure I cannot lie with the minimal clouding I have.

Thanks.

I had seen that video. I would have bought control (although it's freaking pricy) but it is incompatible with our TV per calman.

I am using control cal over my wireless network and getting good results so far. My big issue right now is getting the panel I need on the screen when calman wants them.

You need to send pictures to AQUOSAdvantage@sharpsec.com

The pictures need to include a snapshot of your current settings, the pictures need to be actual content(viewing).

You will then be assigned a case #, it usually takes 2 days before you hear back.

I went through this a couple of times, they replaced my set(s), with no issue.

Good Luck.

Thanks. I've been interested in getting CalMan 5 but am not sure which version to get. I see they have a "Tutorial" version that's supposed to walk you through the program step-by-step. I think that's the one for me but am not sure if I'll regret it later and wish I'd've gone for one of the more expensive versions.

Well, I managed to get some pics in a mostly totally dark environment. Pics include the screen when it is blank when selecting an input (HDMI) that has nothing connected to it, thus showing a totally black blank screen, the clouding seems severe when taking pics of this blank screen.

Some other pics include actual BluRay footage of The Dark Night Rises, the only real clouding I notice is in the bottom right of the screen, and really it's only noticeable when the display material (Shot) is a totally black scene, I don't seem to notice much clouding in other areas of the screen when playing dark looking movies, just that lower right corner. However now that I go back and view the pics I took, seems like I can see 3 distinct areas, WTF!@#$

I also took a pic or 2 when having the Picture Adjustment Menu up, though it seems to block out the clouding somewhat as it overlays it with brightly lit material.


In the pic of the Catwoman you can see 3 distinct areas of clouding, her glove, lower right neck and the right side of her forehead....WTF!@#$


So, what do you all say? What will Sharp say? Would you demand a replacement? Can someone point me in the direction of an outline of the process to go through with Sharp for a replacement/Warranty/Repair claim? I saw it somewhere but cannot find it.
