Background
The RCA RLED5536-UHD is the same Haier branded 55E5500U set (aside from iffy working ARC, CEC and photo/mp3 player these are the same down to firmware bugs and panel issues).
The RCA RLED6515-UHD comes with two variations that seems to match the ProScan PLED6515 of which Version B is the (same Haier 65E3550A)
Based on reports on both the RCA and Haier sets, sets with manufacturing date in October and later are not suffering from the messed up yellow issue.
Yellow issue is not applicable to the 65" sets.

What panels are inside these sets ?
For the 55" most reports are about simulated 10-bit IPS HV550QUB panels made by BOE, more specifically:
- HV550QUB-B10
- HV550QUB-B05
- HV550QUB-B81
p.s. Latest reports are of a generic label (3840x2160) listed instead of actual panel model.

For the 65" (depending on the stand configuration, box lists a B or C right on it).
- Haier/RCA-B version (two legged stand) LSC650FN08 (SPVA, simulated 10 bit, made by Samsung).
- RCA-C version (single stand) T650QVR01.5 (AMVA3, native 10 bit, supports 4:4:4 Chroma @ 60hz, made by AUO).
p.s. Latest reports are of a generic label (3840x2160) listed instead of actual panel model.

How to check for the manufacturing date ?
For the RCA, the manufacturing date is part of the serial number stickered on the box. Serial number starts with "AYYMMDD" so serials starting with "A1610" should be fine.
For the Haier, the manufacturing date is "encoded" as part of the serial stickered on the box. the Serial number ends with "YM-DNNNN (Year-Month-Date-ID)", each single digit goes from 1-9 then A-Z (10-35), Days going past 30/31 falls into the following month. So serial ending with "GA-?????" should be fine.

How to check for the messed up yellows issue ?
You don't need any input for the check, just turn on the TV, press "menu" button, then hit "1147" to bring up service menu, check the color of the service menu option selection frame.
- yellow/lemon-yellow : good set.
- olive green : affected set.
Furthermore, if you have an access to a browser load RGB yellow on the TV and judge for yourself how "yellow" is your "yellow"

Any calibration settings ?
No two panels and no two rooms are created equal, every one needs to calibrate on his/her own, here is a basic and straight forward guide (needs to be done from service menu):
- Get "basic settings\black clipping.mp4", "basic settings\white clipping.mp4" and "Misc Patterns\A - Additional\color clipping.mp4" from MP4-2c.7z
- Disable "Dynamic Contrast" and "DLC (Dynamic Luminance Control)"
- Calibrate Brightness with "black clipping.mp4" file.
- Calibrate Contrast with "white clipping.mp4" file.
- Calibrate RGB gain with "color clipping.mp4" file.
That should get you started. If need further info here is the background related to the patterns.


Thread Posting Guide
- If you are set affected by the yellow rendering issue, please consider posting at SickBeast's excellent RCA 55" TV thread, as there is lots of tips and information on how to calibrate your affected TV, as well as info regarding RMA'ing your affected unit.
- All these sets are running variations of the same firmware, they share most settings and service menu options, although this makes most contributions applicable to all these sets, yet please add a reference to your specific set when posting (RCA 55", Haier 55", RCA 65"-B, RCA 65"-C, Haier 65").

Have fun,

For the RCA ? 1218 is not working ? is your universal remote a learning one ? if so the code for each single button is listed in the manual.

Not sure you have the manual for the 65 inch version C linked correctly- My 65" says it is a c version on the box but it has the stand that is one piece but in your post the C version manual link has 2 legs and the B version manual has one.

Some reason 1218 isnt working but I just checked the manual and I cant find the individual codes. Any idea what page they are on?

Has anyone been able to change the default bright blue screens (when there's no input for example) to black?

I think you mean the ProScan manuals, these have the revisions the other way around (B is the single piece stand, C is the two legged stand).
