At least as far as color settings go, this is NOT the result of my own meter calibration. The color settings are based on someone else's meter calibration of the same model, combined with comparison with my ISF-calibrated Pioneer Kuro.

If you have the capability to meter your own set, I would suggest doing that.

Everything else is based on numerous test patterns and extensive analysis of each setting and its effect, since Sony does not document anything very well. In the end, however, this is not an ISF-style flat calibration, and includes some degree of personal preference. It should be a good starting point for anyone looking for an unmolested/D6500 image that's still vibrant and sharp.
