Hisense U7SG Calibration Settings

We used the following calibration settings to test the 65-inch Hisense U7SG, but they're also valid for the 55-, 75-, 85-, 100-, and 116-inch models. Our 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 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.

Below are the settings we used to calibrate the Hisense U7SG in SDR. We chose the Filmmaker Mode 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: Filmmaker Mode
• Contrast: 40
• Black Level: 0
• Local Dimming: High
• Gamma: 2.2
• Color Temperature: Warm 1

The backlight settings should be adjusted in SDR based on your viewing conditions. These settings deliver the most accurate image in a completely dark room.

• Brightness: 30 (100 nits)
• Brightness: 49 (200 nits)
• Peak Brightness: Off
• Local Dimming: High

If you prefer a brighter image, set Peak Brightness to 'High,' and adjust the Brightness setting as needed.

• Brightness: 100 (adjust as needed)
• Peak Brightness: High
• Local Dimming: High

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: Filmmaker Mode
• Contrast: 50
• Black Level: 0
• Dark Detail: Off

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
• Local Dimming: High
• Peak Brightness: High
• Dynamic Tone Mapping: Off

If you prefer a brighter image, enable Dynamic Tone Mapping. This doesn't change the absolute peak brightness of the TV, but it changes the way the TV processes some scenes, resulting in a brighter image overall.

• Brightness: 100
• Local Dimming: High
• Peak Brightness: High
• Dynamic Tone Mapping: Brightness Preferred

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.

When you start gaming, you can either switch to Game Mode to get the lowest input lag and enable advanced gaming features, including the game bar. No other changes to picture quality settings are needed. You can toggle ALLM and VRR support from the Game Bar menu. With ALLM enabled, the TV will automatically switch to Game Mode when you start playing a game.

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.

To remove judder on this TV, set the Motion Enhancement setting to 'Film'.

Setting Judder Reduction to '3' outputs a framerate equivalent to 30 fps, which helps to reduce stutter in 24 fps content.
