Your choices are, eyeball it, or buy a colorimeter.
"The TV has good pre-calibration SDR accuracy. Still, dark scenes are way too dark, and there are some significant white balance accuracy issues throughout. The color temperature is a bit warm, meaning it leans towards red. The color accuracy is great, but there are minor accuracy issues throughout."
"After calibration, the Samsung S89C has fantastic accuracy, with no noticeable issues. Plus, it's relatively easy to calibrate.
You can see our full calibration settings here."
I wouldn't worry about SDR accuracy though, it's not useful because nobody likes the way perfect SDR looks, because it's so under-saturated compared to the full gamut of the TV. You want it to track reasonably close on the pale unsaturated colors, and have it go blow out on saturated. This is the equivalent of a V-curve from audio. Why would you buy a $2000 tv just to cut out literally HALF of its colors.
I will say the grey balance is pretty good out of the box, even if it does not come at D65 white, the industry standard. It's D70 on the warm 2 setting.
Unfortunately I also have to upgrade my receiver.
Anyone have any good leads on a 4k/120hz receiver with at least 7.1 channels? Considering either the Pioneer Home Audio Elite VSX-LX505 at $650 or the Denon AVR S760H 75W 7.2ch 8K AV Receiver from Costco for $350.

edit: there's a thread for the Onkyo TX-NR6050 7.2 at $300 that is very well thought of for the price, a little more powerful with 2 video outputs, but otherwise a direct competitor of the 760. Might be worth a look, but not Costco (Adorama).
