Color Calibration

Display Tune color calibration makes it possible to achieve sRGB color on your LCD. sRGB color is used to display images from websites as well as specifying a color matching technique to provide monitor and output device color that is consistent. Display Tune color calibration is handled through an interactive series of targets to "dial in" the high, mid, and low tone colors. Once the process is complete, the user will experience accurate color representation of images within Windows and from the web.

NOTE: Selecting the Factory Default Preset will disable color calibration. To enable color calibration, go to Options>Preferences and select Enable Color Calibration from the preference list.

How to use Display Tune Color Calibration

The color calibration will take about ten minutes to complete. Display Tune color will go through a series of steps to produce sRGB color from your LCD.

Adjust the display's height and tilt for normal viewing. Comfortably position yourself at the distance and viewing angle as you would for every day use. Do not change your viewing angle during the calibration process.

Look at the middle square in the color ring. It should appear neutral of any color. If the square appears to have color other than gray present, slowly drag the square toward the same color of the outer color ring until the tint is removed. Example: If the square has blue tint, click on the square and slowly drag it toward the outer blue portion of the ring. This will remove blue tint from the square.

Once the square appears to be neutral move the slider up and down until the square blends into the back ground. Some targets will not allow for the square to completely vanish into the back ground. You'll want to get as close to blending the foreground square into the background gray as possible. Alternate between removing tint from the square and using the slider to get the optimal results. Once complete select Next to move to the next target in the series. Repeat the steps until finished. Once the process is complete, the Preset Dialog will appear asking if you wish to save the desired results.
