Hisense U65QF Calibration Settings

We used the following calibration settings to review the 65-inch Hisense U65QF (65U65QF), and we expect them to be valid for the 55-inch (55U65QF), 85-inch (85U65QF), and 100-inch (100U65QF) models as well. The 75-inch model uses a different panel, so although the general settings should be very similar, our settings aren't completely valid for that size.

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

For SDR content, you can choose a few different preset picture modes. We used the 'Movie' Picture Mode because it's the most accurate out of the box and allows for the most customization. We set Backlight at '31' as it's closest to 200 nits on our unit, which is our target for a moderately lit room. Below are the settings we used for SDR. All other settings were either disabled or left off. If you're in a dark room, the BT.1886 gamma setting is a good choice, as that's the setting most commonly used during the mastering process.

• Picture Mode: Movie
• Backlight: 31 (200 nits)
• Color Temperature: Warm 1
• Contrast: 50
• Gamma: 0
• Local Dimming: High
• Color Space: Auto

HDR is automatically enabled for 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. Below are the settings we used for HDR10. All other settings were either disabled or left off.

• HDR Picture Mode: Movie
• Backlight: 100
• Contrast: 50
• Color Temperature: Warm 2
• Local Dimming: High
• Peak Brightness: High

The TV supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ from native apps and external devices. As with normal HDR content, when you start playing Dolby Vision or HDR10+ content, some settings change automatically. Since we don't specifically test Dolby Vision or HDR10+, we don't have exact settings for them, but they should be the same as our HDR10 settings.

The following are the old results of calibrating the white balance of our unit to 6500K in HDR using the 2-point method. We don't publish the values we used for our new 20-point calibration.

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 at the same time. If you have worse picture quality, simply reset them to the default values.

From the base SDR and HDR settings, very few changes are required for the best gaming experience. When you start gaming, it's best to switch to Game Mode to get the lowest input lag. The rest of our gaming settings are identical to our regular settings for SDR or HDR. For chroma 4:4:4, you must have Input 4:4:4 Color set to 'On.'

For our 480p upscaling test, we set Sharpness to '7,' with Super Resolution set to 'On.' Sharpness processing was calibrated with no over-sharpening for low-resolution content.

This TV automatically removes judder from 24p sources and from the internal apps. You must set Motion Processing to 'Film' to remove judder from 60p and 60i sources, like from a cable box.

This TV has about 21.93GB of accessible internal storage with the included apps installed. These settings are valid for the unit we bought and tested, and it was calibrated on Fire OS 8.1.3.2 (RS8132/2905).
