@TopRound

Apologies. After re-reading your post I didn't answer the question you posed about your new Samsung QLED

No, you do not "need" to have it calibrated. Virtually every current model television is more than "good enough" right out of the box from the factory.

Calibration on a current model television will get you a mere 15 percent (approximate) better quality picture (grey scale, color accuracy, white balance, light output). Some folks can discern the difference, other can't. Some folks care about the difference, others don't.

If you do care and want to have your set calibrated, you *MUST* wait a minimum of 300 viewing hours on the set prior to calibration. Otherwise you've P'ed your time and money away to diode (any kind, led, oled both types, QLED, whatever) "settling drift".

Best.

Ah, glad. I was just checking as you seemed rather unsure back in Nov with the tubes breaking in.

cheers and all the best.

AP speakers are known to disappear. That is one of their attributes

I can vouch for that. I have the Audio Physic Tempo Plus and I sometimes have trouble finding them.

Evan, please forgive me if I'm mistaken, but when I was last at your place, relatively recently , you weren't using Audio Physics Classic 20 speakers, as indicated in your signature line.

Best.
