In this thread you will find a guided solution to how to properly calibrate the vizio P series tvs. In an effort to keep things clean and tidy please limit all talk to calibration information only. When posting the calibration workflow it would be really helpful if you identify which tv you are calibrating. Also I am going to reserve a few spots on the first page to link all of the calibration workflows such that they are easy to find.
If you have come across this thread by mistake and are looking for technical questions about the P series and not calibration help please refer to the link to the P series thread:

Vizio p652ui-b2 - v1.0.0
*Updated to FW 1.1.14, Color Checker still came back 1.45 with these settings. I may tweak at some point but since the difference is so minimal it won't be today!
I'm not sure how transferable they are; I tried settings posted by others here and wound up with very different Calman5 charts. The CNET settings for example were terrible on my set.
However, I will post them just the same!
As pointed out by other users there is a bug that changes the local dimming scheme if you save your Calibrated Dark profile under another name. With the v1.1.14 fw it is even worse,
DO NOT RENAME YOUR calibrated dark profile!
Note, I calibrated with Active LED Zones (local dimming) off with this calibration because previous calibration seemed to have inconsistent sampling with it on. I enabled it afterward. Also, I displayed the sample image of the "blush girl" used by others earlier in this thread on both the p65 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 OLED set to "Basic" color as another reference.
Auto Brightness Control = Off
Backlight = 22 (Use what works for your lighting conditions!)
Brightness = 48
Contrast = 51
Color = 45
Tint = 0
Sharpness = 0
Color Temp = Normal
Active LED Zones = On (Enable after you finish calibration, these settings came back with a deltaE of .7 on the Calman5 greyscale sweep WITH local dimming!)
Black Detail = Off (I charted Gamma w\ this on & off, off = "---", on = "-\_", no good!)
Smooth Motion Effect = Off (Soap Opera Effect Generator)
Clear Action = Off (Backlight scanning, if you experience a darkened rectangle on the right half of the screen, turning this feature on may alleviate that bug! Note this bug appears to have been resolved in fw v1.1.14)
Reduce Signal Noise = Off
Game Low Latency = On (There is a bug that causes a strip at the top of the screen to become corrupted when switching between inputs with Game Mode on, simply toggling it off by changing your video mode to another and then back will resolve it.)
Gamma = 2.4
