Adjusting Color Balance
56 m40L/m46L Installation & Configuration Guide
3 On each display, open the COLOR BALANCE menu. Do one of the following:
• Press MISC once on the remote.
• Press MENU on the remote, and select ADVANCED OPTIONS > COLOR
BALANCE .
Note: If the array has never been color balanced, make sure you start with the NATIVE color
temperature setting on each display. If you are not interested in achieving a specific color
temperature, use
NATIVE , which is the brightest. If the display has been color balanced
before, it will display CUSTOM in its color temperature setting, because the balance values
don’t match any of the pre-set color temperatures.
4 On each display, highlight TEST PATTERN and use the left or right arrows until the
menu displays WHITE .
Note: Always use the internal Test Patterns for color balancing, not an external pattern.
5 When all displays are white, find the least bright display in the array. This will be
the “baseline” display, and you will not adjust it. All other displays will be adjusted
to this baseline display.
Why pick the “least bright” display? Why not pick the brightest and adjust to it?
When the White value is 100, the display is as bright as it can get. You are
adjusting for slight variations in backlight brightness.
