Cutoff and Gain adjustments

Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to convey color information. They use an additive method to combine different amounts of the primary colors to produce a desired color. In other words, monitors start with no light (black) and add percentages of red, green and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by adding the same amount of all three colors, where black is usually produced by adding no color.

However, colors are not only determined by the balance but also the intensities of R, G, and B (how bright they are) which we call Gain, and the saturation of R, G and B (how vivid or dull they are) which we call Cutoff.

Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize before setting the color adjustments or color matching.

If only a quick setting is required, that is close to the desired color, but not exact, skip making any changes to the Cutoff adjustment (step 4). If a precise match is desired, adjustment of the Cutoff levels must be made. We recommend that for exact matching, use a color calibrator.

Procedure

1)For optimum results, before beginning the custom color adjustment, go to the “Screen” menu and set the display to maximum brightness and contrast. (Use the “Screen” menu’s “Brightness” and “Contrast” icons.)

2)Then, return to the “Color” menu and select the “Custom mode” setting.

3)Set the color temperature.

a)Select the “Temperature” icon from the sub menu.

b)Select the temperature as desired by moving the arrow keys in any direction.
