I just took delivery of mine this morning. Are there any tricks to setting it up? Did you have to make adjustments?

What size did you get? Please let us know how it looks? I don’t trust any reviews online.

I watched the video and it said the app made it worse than straight out of the box.

I got the 65'. I am a complete novice when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Find the AVSForum thread for your TV and it'll have calibration settings in there to start from. I always use those. I think Rtings.com usually has calibration settings as well.

I have a 65" TCL Series 6, and had no issues getting it set up. It was very user friendly.

I used the CNET settings.

Looks good.

Check out the calibration settings on rtings.com, CNET, or an AVS forum and figure out which one you like best. They're probably pretty similar with a few minor changes from each site

Mine just came in a week ago. Absolutely love it. Awesome picture for the price.

I didn’t read any reviews but yes I did calibrate an input each for gaming and TV.

Any problem getting eArc to work? Mine won't detect my eArc soundbar, so I'm using optical...it's a pain in the arse.

How are you attempting it?

You click the home button, went to settings.. then checked tv inputs and look for it.

Also, after that.. go to the audio settings and play around in the S/PDIF and eARC settings.

I was able to do it, but I am no longer even using a soundbar. So I am not exactly positive how I did it.
