Older LG's >All Settings>Picture>Picture Mode Settings>Expert Controls>White Balance NEW LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color >White Balance You will go to your White Balance settings to find your RGB Gain and Bias You will control the RED Green and Blue Gain=High controls RGB balance RED = +2 Blue = -3 You want to adjust the Red Green and Blue controls until you get all 3 RGB colors to match exactly this is close but not exact This is what we ended up with
LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color >White Balance Point make sure you are on Point > High if you are on the 80 chip and Low if you are on the 30 chip
80 percent will be on high point 30 percent will be on low point
Then we clicked on 30 %

Finally after you are finished do a Goal Post "Read Series" to get the final reading to make sure all's good.
Final reading delta E should be below 1 Delta E is the difference
click Next
This is the 10 point adjustment - OPTIONAL if you have a lot of time if you don't skip to ?? Grayscale and Gamma Multipoint Adjust This step adjusts the color balance and the target luminance >Start at 100 percent and work down to 10 percent
LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color > White Balance > Method > Change to 10 Points
Click on Read Series "Goal Post" To get a starting point reading
This chart will show how much you are off Example: 100 is more off than 10%
Next Start at the 100 chip and turn on Continuous Scan
On the LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color > White Balance > Signal Level % This is where we'll change the signal level of the TV from 10 to 100 percent to match the chip selected in the CalMan software Start at 100 percent and work down matching the chip selected in the CalMan Software
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
Same with Red and Green keep adjusting so the chart shows as flat a line as possible
Start with this and adjust RGB	This is the goal no line at all
Go through and set RGB levels on each signal level to get the flat line on the RGB Balance Charts Start with 100 and TV set to 100 percent signal level >Next 80 chip with TV set to 80 percent signal level >Next 70 chip with TV set to 70 percent signal level till you get to 10 chip with TV set to 10 percent signal level This is what it should look like after you set all the levels 10-100 Complete Flat Blue Line Make Sure you Leave the LG at 100 Percent Level after you are finished with this step!!
Then click Next
Color Management System CMS Adjust for minimum CMS error and CMS color gamut error Primaries - Optimize Gamut Luminance and Secondaries - Optimize Hue and Saturation
Click the Goal Post to get a read and see where the balls fall in the boxes
Next we need to turn on > Fine Tuning on the LG Monitor LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color > Fine Tune > Color Adjustment
Select Color Adjustment > Color Adjustment > Choose User Selection
Once User Selection is turned on then all the controls are available on the TV to adjust the colors to adjust the RGB settings
Idea here is to get the colors in the boxes Most of the colors will be close so focus on the ones farthest away from the target in the boxes. Adjusting one color will effect another color Start with the primary colors first Red, Green and Blue then the Secondary Colors Cyan, Magenta and Yellow To Adjust the RED press the RED Chip Adjust the saturation, tint and luminance on each color till they are in the box Do all the colors till they are in the box
Put on Continuous Read on the Calman
Older LG's >All Settings>Picture>Picture Mode Settings>Expert Controls>Color Management System>Pick Color Green for example NEW LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color > Fine Tuning and choose Select Color RED	FRAME GRAB HERE COLOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
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
Then click Next once you have all the colors in the boxes
Saturation Sweeps - Spirt of this is if most the balls are in the boxes we're good but can granularly adjust if you have the time. For general CC unless something is really off move on. Here we'll do the same workflow setting the video levels to 20 to 100 percent Then adjust the fine tuning saturation till the boxes line up as well as possible Selecting every color and video level percentage 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100
Click the Goal Post to get a read and see where the balls fall in the boxes
Then choose the color you want to adjust here Again starting with Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow
Turn on Continuous Scan LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color > Fine Tuning and choose Select Color >yellow Only adjust the saturation levels don't touch luminance or tint
Example with yellow selected try to get all the yellows in the boxes going through all the video levels
when you adjust the other boxes generally fall closer to their boxes as well Start with 100 and TV set to 100 percent signal level >Next 80 chip with TV set to 80 percent signal level >Next 60 chip with TV set to 60 percent signal level till you get to 20 chip with TV set to 20 percent signal level
When finished with all the colors set the TV to 100 percent Level before moving on - only if you did the 10 point greyscale if just did two point you are good then click Next Recheck Black/White Levels Press buttons >Brightness and >Contrast
Older LG's >All Settings>Picture>Brightness LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Brightness > Black Level Put up the charts again Brightness = Black chip chart Contrast = White chip Chart Maybe even put up color bars?? Brightness: You want to barely see 16 and 17 but should not see any squares below 16 those should be invisible. Definitely do not want to see 15d We set Black Level to 58-60 on the LG Monitors
to put up the White Pludge you want to see up to 254 and don't want to see any pink tones or noise? LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Brightness > Use Adjust Contrast on the LG to adjust this 82 seemed the best
RE - Check and Adjust Luminance Here are the specs 40 to 50 for a Dim Room our suites
Click on Read Continuous lower left corner
LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Brightness and adjust the Contrast setting Now adjust Contrast on the Monitor Older LG's >All Settings>Picture>Picture Mode Settings>Contrast
This slide says 43 but try for 45 Adjust the Contrast Setting till Luminance is reading 45 ish
Final check Open Davinci Resolve Setup for Davinci Resolve>Go to your project settings in the lower left corner of the application
