It's too bad about that YouTube video above (taken with a cell phone mounted on a camera tripod?), we hear zero nothing.
A stereo mic recorder planted on stage would have made it a little more useful.
Looking forward to this on 4K HDR Blu. ...The sound, the ......

"In 2019, TCL is expanding the capabilities beyond an algorithm running on the TV, adding functionality that allows an app for select mobile phones to improve the performance even more.

This new concept will allow customers to apply a simple, automatic TV color calibration to deliver more color accuracy than ever before.

In the fall of 2019, the new iPQ Engine Mobile app will be available in the Google Play store for Android devices and in the Apple store for iOS devices."
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...300902304.html


"Now for our headline that spotlights phones and calibration, it appears that TCL is the first manufacturer to crack the door to actual in-home customized panel performance using a handheld device. And this is seriously exciting because the masses deserve truly impactful automated setup features that put a television in its best-operating state. Of course, TCL’s top-line TVs carry onboard processing that attempts to optimize color, contrast, and clarity for various sources, but a forthcoming app (iPQ Engine Mobile app) for both Android and iPhone devices appears to allow a TV to analyze itself using a phone’s camera. The would-be intent (assumptions, here) is to dial-in color beyond what the eye can achieve.

And while a camera on a device isn’t nearly as sensitive as that found on high-end calibration gear, anything is better than nothing, especially if it can analyze and apply some effective change to grayscale performance.

Hats of to you, TCL, and let's hope the calibration app works. Fingers are certainly crossed."

I mean if you’re going to put cameras in it (a jet) you should be allowed to become somewhat familiar with its aerial capabilities thru firsthand experience in order to make things as realistic as possible.

Is This the F/A-18F Super Hornet that Maverick Will Fly in the Top Gun Sequel?
