We used the following calibration settings to test the 65-inch Amazon Ember Artline 2026, but they're also valid for the 55-inch model. These settings are meant to provide a starting point; they're not meant to be copied 1:1. They provide the most accurate image in a moderately lit room, but you should adjust them to match your personal preferences and viewing conditions.
SDR
Below are the settings we used to calibrate this TV in SDR. We chose the Movie Dark picture preset, as it delivers the most accurate image out of the box. All other picture quality settings were left at their defaults.
- Picture Mode: Movie Dark
- Contrast: 50
- Gamma: -4
- White Balance: Warm2
- Local Contrast Enhancement: Off
- Dynamic Backlight: Off
Brightness - Accuracy Preferred
The settings that control the backlight should be adjusted in SDR depending on your viewing conditions. These settings deliver the most accurate image in a completely dark room.
- Brightness: 0 (125 nits)
- Brightness: 19 (200 nits)
Brightness - Brightness Preferred
If you prefer a brighter image, simply adjust the Brightness setting as needed.
- Brightness: 50 (adjust as needed)
HDR
HDR is automatically enabled for native apps. Once you start playing HDR content, some of the settings change automatically. All other picture quality settings were left at their defaults.
- Picture Mode: Movie Dark
- HDR Tone Mapping: Off
- White Balance: Warm2
- Gamma: 0
- Dynamic Backlight: Off
- Local Contrast Enhancement: Off
- Dynamic Color: Off
Brightness - Accuracy Preferred
Below are the settings we used for HDR10 in a dark room. These settings deliver the most accurate image, but also limit how bright the TV can get.
- Brightness: 100
HDR White Balance
The following are the results of calibrating the white balance of our unit to 6500K in HDR using the 2-point method. These settings are provided for reference only and shouldn't be copied as the calibration values vary per individual unit. If you want to try them, you'll need to enter all values shown, as all of them are active at the same time. If you have worse picture quality, simply reset them to the default values.
Gaming
When you start gaming, you can switch to the Game Mode to get the lowest input lag and enable advanced gaming features. No other changes to picture quality settings are needed. The separate Gaming option for HDMI Port 1 delivers the same input lag as Game Mode, but enables VRR for that port.
Motion & Processing
Below are the settings we used for most of our motion and processing tests. Motion and processing can be subjective, so you should adjust these settings to your personal preferences. You might also need to adjust these settings depending on the source and specific content.
Judder
The TV automatically removes judder from 25p content, but no combination of motion settings allows it to remove judder from any 24p content.
Stutter Reduction Via Interpolation
Setting Smoothness to '3' outputs a framerate equivalent to 30 fps, which helps to reduce stutter in 24 fps content.
White Balance Settings
The following are the results of the white balance and colorspace calibration in SDR on our unit. They are provided for reference and should not 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 will need to enter all the values shown, as all of them are active at the same time. If you end up with worse picture quality, simply reset them to the default values.
