Adjustable backlight color temp on cheapo televisions?


Not the backlight - the overall picture.


exactly. If you try to compensate for a horrible backlight you're going to
lose the full gamut the display should have been able to show.

I've seen color corrected LED backlights on high end computer displays. I
use a 4k Eizo that has this feature, it's not tunable but the color temp
has a few settings and only the highest one is harsh blue, as it should
be (and also not used as it looks bad, like televisions at the store).


"harsh blue, as it should be" ???

Are you serious?


Serious. 10k color temp looks bad on a good monitor, and that temp is even
far exceeded by cheap displays.
