So I have to admit, I like 4k way more than I thought I would. Whoever came up with the notion that those viewing charts mean anything really didn't know what they were talking about.
I seem to have done a pretty good job calibrating my TV. It was quite tricky and I was shocked by how much adjustment it needed. Getting the yellows to look right was a real challenge. I had to go into the white balance settings and get right into the service menu.
For the $320USD that I paid for the screen I'm very happy with it but it's not perfect and it's quite clear why the big brands cost more. I'm having to re-initialize the color settings every time I turn on the TV which is a bit of a pain. Thankfully there is a hotkey for it on the remote but this type of glitch is unacceptable IMO, particularly considering how bad the color was out of the box. If you guys need a cheap 4k display for your PC these are really great displays though. Excellent black levels and also excellent viewing angles. I have a feeling it's a relatively high end IPS panel. Input lag is also great as is uniformity. There is a bit of backlight bleed but it's mitigated by lowering the backlight and it's only noticeable in a pitch black room with a black screen.
