Hisense A6G Calibration Settings

We used the following calibration settings to review the Hisense 65-inch A6G (65A6G), and we expect them to be valid for the 43-inch (43A6G), 50-inch (50A6G), 55-inch (55A6G), 60-inch (60A6G), 70-inch (70A6G), 75-inch (75A6G), and 85-inch (85A6G) models.

These settings should apply to most types of content, except for gaming or use as a PC monitor, which require a few additional changes, listed below.

One of the first things we did was disable Dynamic Backlight Control and all of the Enhanced Viewing settings, as we don't want the picture settings changing during calibration.

For SDR content, we recommend choosing the 'Theater Night' Picture Mode, as it is the most accurate one out of the box and allows for the most customization. We recommend Contrast to '46', but leaving Brightness, Color, Tint, and Sharpness at their default settings. Brightness is an image processing option; we do not recommend changing this setting.

The backlight of the TV can be controlled from the Backlight sub-menu. You should adjust the Backlight Level to your viewing conditions. Note that this setting does not affect picture quality.

In the Advanced settings tab, we selected the 'Low' Color Temperature setting, as this setting is closest to our target color temperature of 6500K. We left Noise Reduction and Digital Noise Reduction off, but if you are watching lower-quality content it might be able to improve the picture a bit. Note that these settings can result in a loss of fine detail in some scenes.

HDR is automatically enabled for the native apps. When you start playing HDR content, a small HDR icon appears in the picture settings menu. Once you start playing HDR content, some of the settings change automatically. We recommend choosing the 'HDR Theater' Picture Mode and leaving the other settings to their defaults in HDR.

For HDR to work from external devices, the HDMI 2.0 Format option usually has to be set to 'Enhanced format' for the input you are using. Older devices may have compatibility issues if this option is left enabled, so it is recommended to only enable this setting for devices that require it.

The Hisense A6G supports Dolby Vision, from native apps and with most external devices. As with normal HDR content, when you start playing Dolby Vision content, some settings change automatically. We recommend leaving these settings as-is; do not copy our SDR settings over.

Although we disable most motion-enhancing functions for most of our tests, you should adjust these to whatever looks best for you. Some settings may need to be adjusted depending on the specific content you are watching.

The Hisense A6G doesn't have an optional Black Frame Insertion feature. The backlight always flickers at the same frequency.

The Hisense A6G can remove judder from native 24p sources and the built-in apps. No additional settings are required.

From the base SDR and HDR settings, very few changes are required for a great gaming experience. When you start gaming, it is best to switch to the 'Game' Picture mode, to get the lowest input lag, and use the recommended settings for SDR or HDR. For HDR gaming, it is important to make sure that HDMI 2.0 Format is set to 'Enhanced format' for the input you are using.

The Hisense A6G supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), but unlike the Hisense U7G or Hisense U8G, it doesn't support variable refresh rate technology (VRR). To enable ALLM, enable Content Type Auto Detection.

Unlike TVs from most other brands, no special settings are required for PC use on the Hisense A6G. Just make sure you are using the 'Game,' Picture Mode, and that HDMI 2.0 Format is set to 'Enhanced format' for the input you are using.
