The "sharpness" control on newer color TV sets was never able to increase the resolution of a set, but only to boost the perceived detail, by increasing the high-frequency gain in the video amplifier. Generally, it should be set to 25% from the lowest setting or lower, to avoid "edge enhancement"/ringing on high-contrast changes in video content.
