Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. On your external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5.Adjust as needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate them.

Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Picture menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources.
Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction, keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” the image.
