| 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. |

·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 match- ing, use a color calibrator.
Procedure
1)Set the monitor to maximum brightness and contrast.
2)Return to the “Color” menu and select the “Custom” mode setting.
3)Set the color temperature.
4)Adjust the cutoff. Selects the colors by the up/down arrow keys and change the percentages by right/left arrow keys.
5)Adjust the Gain. Selects the colors by the up/down arrow keys and change the percentages by right/left arrow keys.
6)Select the “Save” icon and then press the enter key.
7)Readjust the contrast in the “Screen” menu to get the best image clarity.
