Agree. Last year I tried the U6GR which has a good score here and it is always recommended, but as you see in their same review they said about the colors, and it really looked bad. Faces were red in most modes, except for the sports mode were they were orange. And calibration on that unit is also complicated as it can only be done in the app and much needs to be changed. But still has a pretty good score here. I ended up returning it.

A related thought: RTings should consider adding measurements for color calibration using cheap available tools like the Disney World of Wonder Blu-ray disc, and show how close it gets to their professional calibration measurements.

Hello!

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, we appreciate the feedback. We also understand where you’re coming from, it doesn’t feel right to have to pay a large amount of money for a product and then have to worry about getting it calibrated as well. That said, part of the issue is that the pre-calibration accuracy can vary between units so it can depend on the panel you get. Because of this, we need to be careful with the weight of it in the ratings. For example, we were unlucky with the C1 that we bought. It had a very bad pre-calibration. From what we could read online, most users were very happy with the out of the box calibration. It might also be worth nothing that that in these cases, most users will be more than happy with the pre-color accuracy of higher end displays and can achieve a very desirable picture quality by simply playing around with the picture settings.

That being said, we definitely understand your concern and we will keep it in mind when we will revisit the usage!

If we can calibrate it I don’t mind playing around with settings to get it better …..do they have big quality performance difference when they build the tv’s……if you buy a u7h is it 50/50 good or mediocre……or it’s a rare thing for Hisense?
