In the White balance menu go to Red, Green and Blue and adjust each level | |
Watch this chart while you are adjusting the Red Green and Blue colors in the "Fine Tune" controls on the TV | |
With Blue selected adjust up and down till you get a flat line on the chart | |

If you click on the color of the box as we have clicked on Red then you will get the close up of the offset of the color red dot is out of the box. Primary Colors - Y luminance is critical to get right Secondary Colors - x and y Hue or Tint is critical to get right | |
Once Red is finished then do GREEN, AND BLUE - Adjusting luminance to get it right Then do Cyan, Magenta and Yellow - Adjusting luminance and tint Go in the order of the boxes in CalMan | |
Do a Read Series again and re adjust luminace one more time on all Will still look off for some reason but go ahead and go to saturation sweeps | |
Then click Next once you have all the colors in the boxes | |
