Standard video advice

has also been to turn the sharpness down to almost minimum. In doing so remember that the set normally takes about 30 minutes to stabilize., but the lower sharpness setting reduces that edge enhancement, particularly at color boundaries. which is largely responsible for that cartoonish effect where it seems that the color boundaries have a penciled in border.

In reducing the sharpness you will find that the color saturation in a field becomes more saturated with better gradation.
The problem is often seen when viewing something like a referee's black and white striped shirt.In a close up you often seen the black edge of the stripe sharply delineated but then it turns gray and then black in the middle of the stripe and then gray as you move to the other edge.

Adjusting the sharpness radically lower has helped in most of the displays I have seen
