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.
For One Display Only
If you have only one display, the Color Balance controls can be used to set the color
temperature of the single display.
To access the COLOR BALANCE menu, press MISC once on the remote.
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
m40L/m46L in a television studio where you will be videotaping the content, you will
want a low color temperature. The m40L/m46L 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.
