Out of the box, it will not be in spec - even if they say it is. The Yedlin settings will not be accurate for color critical work.
You'll want to get lightspace or calman with an i1D3. Get a version that allows you to do Resolve LUTs that you can load into your Teranex. The tricky thing will be to get an accurate spectrophotometer read on the monitor that you can use with your i1D3. You could use the generic offsets for WOLED which will be OK, but not ideal.
I've found that the main issue with TVs is that they have Auto Brightness Limiting (ABL) that can't be turned off, which makes them a challenge to calibrate. Calman compensates for this by allowing you to set an Average Brightness for your patches, which defeats the ABL. I belive that Lightspace is implementing this in a future version, too.
I have heard that a number of people have used the C7/B7 series in their suites. You might want to investigate at Lift Gamma Gain to see what people are doing, or see if Mixing Light has any tutorials on this.
If you're going to be grading on this TV, I would highly recommend calibrating it. There is a learning curve to calibration, but once you have it you can be confident all of your hard work is "correct".
The other alternative, if you're in a large market city, is to hire a calibrator to come by and do the setup, profiling and correction LUT for you. You'll have to do this at least a couple times a year as everything drifts.
