Adjusting Color Balance

Adjusting Color Balance

Color Balance is used to match the colors of adjacent displays when several displays are arranged in an array. You may also use it to adjust the color of a single display.

Understanding Color Temperature

Different “pure white” light sources do not always have the same color. For instance, light from an incandescent bulb has more yellow than light from direct sunlight. “Color Temperature” is a way of measuring these color differences. In general, higher color temperature numbers are bluer or “cooler.” You may have a reason for wanting your display to be a specific color temperature. For instance, if you are using the m70L in a television studio where you will be videotaping the content, you will want a low color temperature. The m70L defaults to the brightest setting possible, which is 100 in the RED, GREEN and BLUE lines under WHITE BALANCE. You may choose a different color temperature by setting it in the COLOR BALANCE menu.

Adjusting Color Temperature

Select the COLOR TEMPERATURE line in the COLOR BALANCE menu and then select from 3200°K (Warm), 5500°K, 6500ºK, 8500°K (Cool) or NATIVE. If you want the brightest display, select the NATIVE option.

Changing the color temperature changes the three WHITE BALANCE values. You can also change the WHITE BALANCE values individually to create a custom color temperature. Once you have changed the values, a new CUSTOM option is available

on the COLOR TEMPERATURE line.

Color Balancing a Single Display

If you have only one display, the Color Balance controls can be used to set the color temperature of the single display.
