Frequently Asked Questions

32. How does Auto Calibrate work?

During the calibration process, different predefined black and white images are displayed on thescreen. The beam currents of the red, green and blue cannon are accurately measured and compared to the original values stored in the monitor. By readjusting gain values of the individual cannons, deviation is reduced to zero. Default values are stored during production. If the user sets a new color temperature, this new value is saved as the new default value.

33. When should calibration be performed?

The calibration process takes less than six seconds. During this period, different specific images are displayed. After the process is finalized, the original image is redisplayed. Constant re-calibration is not required. Calibration should be performed after the monitor is warmed up. Auto Calibration takes place when a monitor receives a signal indicating an imminent switch to its sleep mode/stand-by mode.
