Exactly what I want is to calibrate the Q6FN to see TDT that reaches the TV thru Set Top Box at 1080 60i and there are HD channels and other standard

Try to calibrate CE dimming setting in service Menu to avoid darkenning.

Sorry. I´m not specialist, so I din´t understand that you suggest. Can you explain me. please?

From Reddit:

Service MenuPower off tv and wait 10 secondsPress this button sequence quickly: MUTE 1 8 2 POWER. Service Menu should display after a long boot up sequence, displayed in the upper left of screen. If not go back to step one and try again.Navigate to SVC > Other Setting > CAL Data Restore and select this option. There will be a USB error message, just click ok to exit.Back out to the main, or root, service menu, and you should see an advanced option now listed at the very bottom. Highlight Advanced and press 0 0 0 0. This should open more options below.

Change PWM SettingsMove down and select Picture2D > Subsetting, this will open the important menu.You will be changing PWMINI2D and PWMMOVIE_INI to a higher number. These are setting the minimum dimming intensities and seem to be some function of the backlight intensity settings in normal menu. If you set to higher number, up to 100, the backlight will not dim during dark content. This means you will also more easily see the backlight glow if that bothers you more. You can trial and error different numbers to see what you like.Press power to reset tv.

Thank you very much for your explanation, but what I need is an example of calibration (brigh, contrast, thru motion, gamma,etc) to watch TDT thru Set Top Box as well as posible. Cause i can’t reach a good calibration.

Maybe try Contrast 38 (76 if it goes to 100) motion custom deblur 3-4. Contrast Enhancer off, temp warm 1. Gamma 1886. Also turn the back light down a bit for black level if you notice bloom and try standard dimming for SDR and High for HDR only

OK, what about brightness, gamma setting adjustment, why not warm2, and its white balance. I would like fine adjustment. friend help to do it. My TV is Q6FN

Only change brightness if you find the blacks grey lower it, if you find blacks crushing then raise it. Some people find warm 2 too warm sometimes and Gamma 1886 for my preference

Hello Friends, I´ve got a doubt. I want to see how is the D65 white. I need a patterns to check R65 and another to check gamma.

What do you think about this setting? any suggestion?

Local Dimming on an edge lit panel is worthless and pure marketing. All of Rtings.com ratings of edge lit models reflect this.
When you get to a native contrast ratio of over 6000:1 this is as good as an OLED, since you can’t humanly percieve the difference. The native contrast ratio on this TV is so high that any type of local dimming is going to cause problems rather than fix them. Even Full Array Local dimming itself is a lot of marketing.
A light every 3 to 4 square inches isn’t going to provide near the quality of every pixel dimming like on an OLED, but since even a low end VA panel has a contrast ratio, 3000:1, that performs pretty close to perfect blacks you can throw in local dimming and claim the blacks are phenominal when they aren’t really much better than a nomal VA panel. Professional Reviewers have to embellish or they will have no readers. Note: these contrast ratios of VA panels only apply if you are looking at the TV straight on. VA panels with a native contrast ratio of 6000:1 or greater are usually only good for viewing angles of 20 degrees or less.

Thank you friend. Do you have any suggestions on fix that setting? I am not a specialist on the subject, I am just taking my first steps and that configuration should have improvements

Turn the setting for local dimming to “low”.

Rtings.com in the local dimming section of the Q6FN review says, “Local Dimming performance is poor, and it is very conservative. It doesn’t dim areas of the screen very much, likely to reduce the amount of visible blooming. If you find that it bothers you, you can set it to low as it cannot be turned off completely from the regular menu.”

I think their recommended setting to “high” is a misprint. They say the local dimming on this model is terrible and give it a 1.8 rating. If local dimming is poor you certainly don’t want to set its involvement to a maximum value of high.

If your using a recommended settings from some source make sure after you are done with changing the settings you adjust the brightness to your taste.

Thanks friend. I had the attenuation in normal, I see that the result is horrible at high and I had not tried it at low. What I have the most problem is with the white balance and with the gamma, since I do not have a equipments to calibrate, I am trying different recommendations, trying to make it the best possible sight. I know it’s an error, but it’s always better than the default. Any recommendation?

Is it mainly dark scenes in movies your having trouble with? HDR capabilities of the Q6FN aren’t the greatest,

No, I´m having trouble with the white balance. Where can I see a D65 white reference? And I don´t know how to check if gamma is OK in +2

Hello friend. Someone told me that through the hidden menu you can adjust the white balance much easier and safer. RGB 255, 249, 253. Is that true?

I don’t know. Ask Dodgexander on AVFORUMS

Do you have any white balance adjustment that you recommend for my TV, I do not have measuring equipment and here in Cuba, nobody is dedicated to the adjustment of TVs

Hi. In the final white balance result, using warm 2, are the grays somewhat yellowish or pure gray?

Local dimming set to high only applies to HDR content. Set it to LOW if it’s SDR. I use the settings from the article and it’s excellent. I wouldn’t bother with all the white balancing. Warm2 is the proper color temp for this TV with gamma as in the above article. You could nitpick but you’ll just drive yourself crazy. Keep in mind, each TV will have its own white balance settings, so you cannot copy someone else’s and expect it to work on your TV. Get a nice sheet of white paper and calibrate with that, maybe?
