Been chatter on the sites re SONY going to a (in House)Factory Calibrated RGB LED Series of TV's.
While not primarily designed for Transmitted TV viewing RGB Monitors which are designed for Professional Media/Video applications have been available for many years-with factory Calibrations -BUT not locked in as purchased which it appears SONY is spruiking--one poster in this thread hit the mail on the head -ha!
What if the buyer doesn't like his perfectly calibrated picture, but prefers the Flouro screamer he previously enjoyed--perish the thought!
I have an RGB Monitor for Photo manipulation Factory calibrated from the box-- An EIZO ColorEdge CG2700X 27" 4K HDR Monitor BUT has built in RGB Calibrator that will do factory refresh when I wish to open the command and activate it. For TV I use the excellent GENIATECH LLC EYE TV GmbH HD Digital with MacBook Pro M4.
I use this Monitor for all HD/Digital Antenna (No Cable ) viewing and find the colour balance perfect for Natural colours as per a Calibration.The density /brightness/ blacks /rendition of colours in what I would say is more pure form with thoroughly more visually pleasing than the TV's I see at my friends rooms and the Stores. also I get no eye strain and don't nod off with my setup--yes seriously!
If Sony gets this moment right-I think consumers will be pleasantly surprised with more "natural " and correctness of the Colours --like I said less viewing fatigue from garish colours.
RGB Monitors at present have certain elements of drift in the colours over time and as of present need to be recalibrated to bring back into the correct spectrum . SONY will maybe have to allow user calibration.
Anyway its still not a viable product -besides they all have to get the price to be competitive as of today
my Monitor is $3400 USD--- for 27"???--- can't see the rocketing off the shelves !
Good viewing,

Did you have to recalibrate any time recently? Have you noticed a better picture?
Recommended on monthly basis--all built in and user activated one click and the procedure takes about 4/5 minutes-you rename date , etc and save --voila!
Dependant on the colour drift usually in a Monitor of this quality very little-but yes the changes will be evident if sometimes minimal .
The RGB Spectrum at present has variables Adobe/ SRGB/Colormatch/ etc for different uses and placement-it will be interesting to see how SONY gets around the pretty closed patents that ring these Colour profiles, but understanding the depth of the Japanese company and the way they "gazumped" Telefunken with their clone PAL 14"Trinitron in the early 70's-
I'd say the dye is already in the works if not cast already.

Did you have to recalibrate any time recently?
A: Yes every Month or if I see any "drift" /"Shift" noticeable in the Colour presentation.
Have you noticed a better picture?
B: Yes if the drift itself was noticeable before Calibration--sometime too subtle to notice.
User to decide both A and B.

I did not recalibrate my TV. I'm referring to other TVs and other video systems - iPads, home theater, video game monitors, etc. anywhere in the world. Having said that, it is possible some video systems need recalibration, depends on what the settings were originally, but default settings should be fine. You should simply see a better picture, a better"signal."My experiment is to investigate the concept that video and audio performance can be affected (improved) *remotely* - without any physical connection.
