Got a great feature set and picture at a good price.
After a professional calibration, this is a great set. We got one delivered that came cracked, so this is the 2nd one. We are not seeing bleed or other issues. Yes, it's not as dark as my plasma or an OLED, but we wanted an IPS screen because we needed a good viewing angle range. We are also not super crazy about the video experience. We can live with less than perfect given we only spent $2k and have been living with 720p for the last 10 years.
Out of the box this had a definite red shift to it, and using the built in Netflix I've watched Marco Polo in Dolby Vision. And HDR as well. So should be reasonably future proof.
Keeping in mind that your mileage may vary and my room with a slider may not be your dark theater room, here are settings that work great for us. Adjust sharpness later to suit your taste.
