TV, RCA MOD # F19424, CTC 203U5, Picture blury

Adjust the brightness until it starts making the black in the picture slightly milks and back it off slightly
Adjust the contrast so that the whitest whites show detail, too much contrast and they disappear
Adjust colour to suit, start with it half way, look at flesh tones on a news reader as a guide and adjust sharpness so you can see detail but not so that there are false or visible edges around things

Your webcam should have come with software that allows you to control aspects of your equipment. In the webcam settings, check your settings on contrast and such, you can adjust the sharpness of the picture, this may not be set correctly!

This sounds like a setting that can be adjusted. What I like about some of the Sharp televisions is the av mode setting (preset brightness/contrast adjustments). I am not looking at the manual for this model so I'm not sure if this is an option on this television. However with this being a high end aquos model there is free assistance available to you. You can register your television at aquos advantage and chat live with an aquos advisor at Sharp's Midwest Corporate Headquarters. The agent may advise you to call in if your television need and Industry Initialization because you have to be talked through it. I advise the chat reps initially because when you call you aren't able to speak with the Midwest Corporate Sharp reps unless your call is being escalated.

You have it hooked up to Analog TV with your RCA jacks. I had the same problem.

There are 2 things you try. go into menu to picture setup scroll down to sharpness,back this setting all the off. If this doesn't do it, go to back of the set on right hand side, if you can see focus slot adjust it slightly.

Todd, In the user menue there has got to be adjustments for the brightness, contrast, sharpness,etc. I know there is no such thing as a simple tv anymore. On some sets if you do not have a remote control, you cannot make any adjustments. If you have one for this set and it works, trust me, the settings are in the on screen menue.
Hope this helps,

The F is for focus and the S for screen. You should be able to adjust the F to resolve the problem.

Before anyone changes those setings you should write them down.

*The brightness control setting determines how bright your picture will be. *The contrast control sets the gain of the video circuit. This determines the difference between dark and light scenes. Low contrast settings make the picture "hazy". High contrast settings make the picture more distinction between dark and light scenes. *The sharpness control determine the frequency response of the video circiut. High sharpness settings give better resolution but also shows more noise in your picture. Lower sharpness settings smoothe out the picture removing noise but also fine detail. It needs to be set for the best all around picture. *Picture Enhancement is pre-set adjustments which give you different picture qualities. You just select the one you like. Stargazer
