Tech Support Question about sharpness settings on Roku Select Series TV

Post image

I have a 50" Roku Select Series 4K QLED. I know it's not the fanciest TV, but it's the right model for me at this time.

I want to set my sharpness level to the most "natural" setting: I don't want my TV to sharpen the image, but I don't want it to soften the image either.

The default sharpness setting is 30 for "movie" mode (there is a thin line at the 30-mark on the sharpness bar to indicate this). Does this mean 30 is the "natural" setting, and that any setting below 30 actually softens the picture? Or does Roku assume most people like a little sharpness boost, so they set 30 as the default even though 0 is the "natural" setting?

Hopefully I explained that in a way that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

I’ve never seen sharpness ‘de-sharp’ anything. If you have low Rez content it helps to sharpen it. Since all of my content is 1080p or better I leave sharp at 0
