Sharp Aquos LC-46D64U LCD HDTV Review - Performance: Summary

Calibration
To get the best out of a display, it has to be calibrated, a process that finds the correct settings for the individual display. We use the DisplayMate calibration process to set the display up correctly; the calibrated settings that we found to give the best overall performance are listed below.

That's only a few minor changes to get the screen calibrated.

Dot Pattern
The LC-46D64U is a full HD screen, which means that it has enough pixels to accurately represent every pixel of a 1080p signal. The image on the right (taken with a 20x microscope) shows the dot pattern of the LC46-D64U, which has a slightly unusual arrangement. Every pixel is composed of two red elements, two green ones and a single blue one. All of the elements in the display seem to be the same size, but there are twice as many red and green elements as there are blue. This is unusual; most of the panels on displays we've seen have groups of three elements forming the pixels.
