Yes, it's completely meaningless.

Any color space greater than the space in the movies themselves has to be done by degrading the color rendition.

To get the best picture, you have to turn this feature off; you cannot meet the ITU-R BT.709 calibration specification with it on, and the only way to display accurate color and a true greyscale is if it's calibrated to BT.709.

Ignore this specification when shopping. It's there to satisfy the marketing department's need for "big words on the box" to attract the Costco buyers.

Not a hit on Sharp ... every manufacturer does it. But features that actually work are more important than features that are there to get people to pull the trigger.
