Sharp Aquos D64U Calibrations and Settings - Page 29

I just updated mine from S0810151 to S0909081, no problems immediately apparent. I tried contacting Aquos support chat to ask for a changelog and was met with a series of mind numbingly dumb questions and no answer. :::shrug:::

In the end I came away with -
1. There has only been one firmware update
2. The firmware update is S0909081
3. The firmware was released Oct 22.

Of course I had all of that before I went into the chat.

for those who have updated their set, how long does it take? when i try, it finds the update and temporarily shut off like it says, but the "now updating" screen never comes up. its just a dark screen. dark as in its on, but nothing there not no power.

FIXED.

it was pretty standard. i don't recall how long, but it definitely wasn't that long.

Did not take long, but I gave it a couple of tries before it worked. Formatting my stick as FAT32 allowed the Software Update process to detect the firmware but it would go dark and return back to the TV tuner. I reformatted the stick as FAT and it worked as the instructions indicated.

Edited to ADD: LOL, I see you fixed it. What did you do?

same as you Larry. reformatted to FAT instead of FAT32. didn't think it made a difference, but it did. thanks

I've tried updating my firmware "U" version to the latest on post on here. TV goes to the process of updating but when I go back to look at the firmware version it still shows the 911!? Need help.

Did you ever get this sorted out?

For those having the non-updating issue, unplug your TV, wait at least 3 minutes, then plug it back in (with the usb drive). It will start to update. I was on phone support (who answered immediately and was actually helpful) for a bit and we figured out that this worked.

Do I have to also sacrifice a chicken?

I did leave it unplugged and I was very hopeful. Still, it didn't update when I plugged back in and I tried the update menu... it sees the file and says it's going to update, but simply returns back to standard operation (without updating) after a brief blackout period.

Irritating. I may try support, but since it's new years day, I'm not hopeful they'll answer.

oic. I finally got fed up and reformatted my western digital 320gig awesome little pocket drive as a fat drive (2gigs on 320gigs is hilarious fyi) — the unplug method still didn't work, but it did twart the boot cycle and trick the TV into oscillating between power and opc (blink, blink, blink, blink).

Using the very fast real hard drive (not a memory stick, of which I had tried three); the update went correctly as indicated in the user manual pdf.

I want to create two different calibrations on my lc46d64u, one for movies and one for gaming on my PS3. First of all, I have my PS3 set to output RGB full range as the test image I used indicated it is capable of displaying the full range. Should I set the video output to RGB for calibrating game mode and YPb/CbPr/Cr to calibrate movie mode? I am using AVS HD to do the calibration. Also, for the color temperature should I use Mid or Mid-Low for game mode? Thanks in advance.

...& these settings aren't there/can't see anymore to boot...thx for help on bets PQ...

Has anybody noticed any differences after updating the firmware?

I updated just before Christmas and did not notice any changes right away. However, I have now really begun to notice a red ghost image on fast moving video material (though not live material). I am not sure if it is my crappy cable service (ATT Uverse) or my TV... I was going to try experimenting to see if I can reproduce it with OTA broadcast... Other than that, everything looks to be the same

Sadly, I just recently updated the Firmware to U0905131. I am not really sure if there is a difference. The only functional problem I had with my TV was that occasionally the sound would start skipping when switching from HD and SD channels. This was easily fixed by tuning to the SD channel for a couple of seconds and then changing the channel.

I am here, after all this time, to see if anyone has any new updated settings with this particular update? Specifically for Cable TV and PS3.

I originally used Tiger Dave's settings but I have been playing around with Shrabok, Sam S, and Wdek? settings.

If anyone is still out there, I would love to hear your opinions.

Haven't visited in a while myself and I saw your post and thought I should post my current settings. I have been VERY satisfied with my current settings for a long time now. They use the hue and saturation settings that Sam S most recently posted. My settings are used in a dark room with as close to no light as possible.

Now, you have to remember, the trickiest thing that Sam S had to correct was the green tint in faces around the cheek bone area. With his most recent hue and saturation settings it has completely disappeared. And when I say completely, I do mean completely. No matter what the source (AT&T U-verse, PS3 & Blu-ray, XBox360, DVD Up-converter, etc. I have yet to experience a single green tinted face. I also found that when set to "User Mode" the colors are the most natural and true to life as possible. Make sure it is on User Mode if you are going to use these settings. Another great thing is that when I play video games that tell you to "adjust the brightness so that such and such is barely visible" it is always already barely visible. Without Sam S's calibration, this would never have been possible.

The following settings are what I have used to 100% satisfaction for almost 2 years now. Sweet mother, I can't believe it's really been 2 years.

LC-60LE831U and setting for this tv>>>> it my first tv and I really need help.

Is that the subtle difference I've noticed in those two settings? For years the sharpness on this set has always perplexed me. I preferred -7 over -10 (the latter looking a tad blurry) but always wondered what it was about -7 versus -4 that always looked so different. I knew there was some difference there but could never place my finger on it.

So far my set is still working fine after 5 yrs of owning it. Anyone else?

Same here, still great picture. 42" is a little too small though, finally gave in and bought a 65" Panasonic plasma for the living room.
