Best Samsung TVs for color accuracy

#1

Colors are particularly accurate without calibration, including convincing skin tones, though the measured HDR reds and blues are not flawless.

#2

Color can look highly natural and accurate in the better picture modes, especially Filmmaker Mode. Standard and AI-heavy modes can push skin tones or whites too cool or warm.

#3

More restrained presets reproduce skin tones and colors convincingly; Dynamic or Vivid settings can push them too far.

#4

Filmmaker modes offer exceptionally faithful colors straight out of the box. Other presets, particularly Game Mode, can need tuning.

#5

Natural skin tones and very small SDR color errors make the picture convincing before extensive adjustment.

#6

Bright, vivid colors impress many owners, and calibrated pictures can look natural. Some modes introduce exaggerated tones, while measured color coverage and saturation are less impressive than the enthusiastic owner...

#7

SDR colors and skin tones are often natural and pleasing straight out of the box, while HDR accuracy is less dependable.

#8

Natural SDR colors and convincing skin tones are recurring strengths, although HDR color errors, blue casts, and panel differences leave accuracy uneven overall.

#9

Color accuracy is excellent in some modes and tests, but Standard mode and certain HDR scenes can introduce conspicuous color errors.

#10

Filmmaker mode gives the most faithful colors and can look excellent without calibration. Default presets and some HDR scenes exaggerate warm tones, reds or blues.

#11

Factory colors are appealing but can lean cool in SDR; careful calibration delivers more neutral and faithful color.

#12

Color can look impressive with little adjustment, particularly in SDR. HDR color accuracy is weaker, and calibration helps more than the factory settings alone.

#13

Standard-definition-range colors and skin tones can look convincing straight out of the box. HDR colors are less accurate and sometimes noticeably cool.

#14

Natural-looking colors and skin tones are bright spots; minor white-balance and color biases benefit from calibration.

#15

Out-of-box color is mixed: some find natural skin tones and pleasing hues, while others see a magenta cast. Calibration can improve accuracy considerably.

#16

The color presentation can look cleaner than some cheap competitors, but yellow or cool casts and inaccurate saturated colors stop it from being faithful.

#17

Factory color accuracy is acceptable, with good mapping but a cool tint. Calibrated picture modes can be exceptionally accurate.

#18

Natural-looking colors are possible, especially after adjustments, but several setups look too blue or overly red at first. The out-of-box result depends heavily on preset and calibration.
