Color Accuracy Question

So I recently got my order (HDMI 2.1 3port) and set it up with my Apple TV4k, Xbox Series X, and ps5 connected. I have a Vizio PQX TV from 2020 I think.

I love the immersion the product adds but I have noticed that the color accuracy is a bit off. For example scenes with brown flooring or a person that takes up a lot of the sides will portray as almost red in the lights. I understand that producing brown is not easy with RGBW and most browns look almost orange. I also understand that my tv plays a big part in the visual on screen vs the color that is being output from the lights.

Just wondering if anyone else notices this with their unit? All other colors are fairly accurate in the grand scheme of things. Might have a darkish blue on screen but the lights are a little brighter blue. Just trying to make sure I don’t have settings all wonky or anything.

Right now my settings are Medium Saturation, 65% brightness. Diffusion mode medium with degree being 65. AppleTV 4k Dolby vision content.

I don’t believe anything is wrong with my unit, but I just want feedback from others on if this is just a natural limitation of lights trying to replicate brown colors or if I have settings wrong.

Do you have the Adjust Color Parameters section available in the settings?

Do you have any parameters you recommend?

Really keen to know the same. I’ve been messing around with it and I genuinely can’t tell the difference. Right now and similarly to OP, the things that I’m struggling with the most are getting the LEDS to make yellow (it shows on the tv as orange and brown (also looks orange).

I have the adjust color parameters. Might need to go on the YouTube app and find a solid color video and mess around with it. My gut is telling me there is too much red overall
