Calibrating is not art.

How are TVs nowadays in regards of latency? Is it possible now to read text while scrolling the screen or does still become a blurry mess when you do that?
Lots of cheap LCDs without noticeable ghosting.
Yeah, they've come a long way, but of course it still depends on the TV and the modes it supports - e.g. MotionFlow kind of motion interpolation had better be an option that is off by default for PC/Console inputs.
This is what I like about the current Sony TVs, they seem perfect for gaming.
Adjusting sharpness to ones own preference isn't calibration...

That's great to hear, I've been holding onto my CRT monitor because of that, but if the problem is gone then I guess it's time to switch to something more recent.
It is free until January 2015 provided you have a Gold subscription.

It's the main reason I'm hanging onto my rather elderly Bravia (KDL-40W2000). The colour definition and absolutely no fecking around with the image. No lag, no blur. It's bliss!
True, it is un-calibration.
Apparently you have no clue what calibration actually is...
I have never been a big fan of sharpening the image, but the correct Sharpness on your TV can make a difference, for good. Trust me on this one.True, it is un-calibration.
My TV lets you select a Sharpness value ranging from 0 up to 20.
At zero, 2D games like Super Street Fighter 2 HD look like 3D animation movies, without a single trace or hint of aliasing.
I set it at 4, because it adds a bit of detail to the image. Then I enable Advanced Sharpness, and the image quality is truly staggering!
With a Sharpness value of 4 it looks almost as there is no sharpness applied.Then when you turn Advanced Sharpness on it is so subtle, so unobtrusive that it is really worth it.
You get all the benefits from a well applied Sharpness without any of the disadvantages -artefacts (aliased edges, mostly)-.
I like how particular people keep spinning the subject to similar but unrelated topics.
The real question is:
When X1 upscales a 720p image to 1080p with sharpening...
1. Does it look better than output 720p and letting your receiver/TV do the upscaling, and
2. Does it look better at 1080p with the upscaling versus the original 720p.
It is NOT when X1 upscale 720p to 1080p, it's going to look better than native 1080p.

Why do you assume the sharpening in BF has anything to do with upscaling? They could be independent.

Interesting... would like to see how X1 holds up then.
