Re: Isf Faq

There are no standards set for sharpness..or noise reduction or detail enhancment. Those are things that the end user can decide what to do with. Ideally they would be set minimise artefacts. It is correct that in the ISF mode it is not possible to completely defeat the sharpness control on the 8th g like you can in the user menu's.

THX and ISF are not the same. THX is an arbitery standard created by them for marketing purposes.
ISF is just a name for an organistion. ISF calibration is really just calibration to the international TV standards...those are laid down by EBU and SMPTE amongst others. Adherence to the TV standards will give you a more accurate image. If you don't like an accurate image then that's cool too.
