Vizio Quantum Pro QLED Calibration Settings

We used the following calibration settings to review the 65-inch Vizio Quantum Pro QLED, and these settings are also valid for the 75-inch model. These settings apply to most types of content, except for gaming or use as a PC monitor, which requires a few additional changes, listed below.

These settings are meant to provide you with a starting point; they're not meant to be copied 1:1. They provide the most accurate image, but you should adjust them to match your personal preferences and viewing conditions.

For SDR content, we chose the 'Calibrated' Picture Mode, as it's the most accurate one out of the box and allows for the most customization. We left the Contrast to '50', Color at '50', Tint at '0', and set Sharpness to '25'. We selected the 'Warm' Color Temperature as it's closest to our calibration target of 6500K.

You should adjust the Backlight to your specific viewing conditions. Changing the backlight does not have any impact on the overall picture quality. The Brightness setting is an image processing feature that adjusts the image itself, not the panel.

In the Advanced Picture settings page, we left most of the settings disabled for a more accurate image. We disabled the Edge Enhancement, Active Pixel Tuning, and Black Detail settings, but you should adjust these to your preferences. We set Gamma to '2.2'. The Active Full Array setting control's the local dimming feature. We set it to 'High' to get the maximum effect, but you should adjust it to your personal preferences.

When watching low-quality content, you can adjust the Reduce Noise settings, but we left them disabled as they aren't effective.

HDR is automatically enabled for the native apps. When you start playing HDR content, the picture settings menu changes to specify the HDR format. Once you start playing HDR content, some of the settings change automatically. We used the 'Calibrated' Picture Mode and left the other settings to their defaults in HDR.

The following are the results of calibrating the white balance of our unit to 6500K in HDR. They are provided for reference and shouldn't be copied as the calibration values vary per individual unit, even for the same model and size as the TV we reviewed, due to manufacturing tolerances. If you want to try them, you'll need to enter all values shown, as all of them are active simultaneously. If you have worse picture quality, simply reset them to the default values.

Although we disable most motion-enhancing functions for most of our tests, you should adjust these to whatever looks best for you.

This TV has an optional motion interpolation feature to improve motion clarity. It can interpolate low frame rate content up to 120fps. To use it, adjust the Reduce Judder and Motion Blur Reduction sliders to your liking. It also has a backlight-strobing feature, and you can enable it with Clear Action.

To remove judder from 24p or 60i sources, the Film Mode setting has to be enabled from the Advanced Picture menu.

For the best gaming performance, switch to the TV's 'Game' Picture Mode. You can also set the Gaming/PC Mode setting to 'Auto', and the TV will automatically switch to the proper mode when it detects a connected PC or game console. This setting has to be set on each input. We didn't change anything else in those modes, but some of the settings change automatically in these modes. The Active Full Array setting that controls the TV's local dimming feature is locked to 'Medium' when you're in 'Game' mode, and it doesn't work properly when in 'PC' mode.

For clear text and proper chroma 4:4:4 support from a PC, set HDMI Mode to 'Auto' and enable the Full Color 4:4:4 setting from the Input Picture Settings menu. This ensures low input lag while still displaying text properly.

This TV can pass uncompressed audio to a compatible receiver through a single HDMI connection. To enable it, enable the eARC setting and set Digital Audio Out to 'Digital'.

One of the first things we did was disable all of the extra image processing features, as we didn't want the TV to adjust the image during testing. We set the Power Mode setting to 'Quick Start', and disabled the Ambient Light Sensor setting in the Picture menu, as we don't want the brightness of the TV to change during testing.

This TV has a good selection of accessibility features. It supports automatic closed captioning, text-to-speech, and screen zoom.
