New Features:

  • Added Portrait Displays Patterns™ as a pattern generator and display device
  • Enabled Aurora Color Engine for Patterns™
  • Added a new workflow under Calibrations section, “Patterns Calibration Workflow”
  • Added Portrait Displays Patterns™ for Mac as a new software title available at https://www.portrait.com/downloads1/

Known Issues:

  • SPECIAL NOTE:  ASUS SDK updates to support new ASUS displays will require the user to launch Calman by shift-right-clicking on the executable and selecting “Run As Administrator”  ASUS is aware of this issue and plans to resolve in their next SDK release
  • There are currently issues with Dolby Vision calibration on 2022 LG A9 and Panasonic TVs. Portrait is in communication with Dolby and the respective TV manufactures to resolve this quickly, but currently, on these TVs, the ability to perform this calibration from the Calman UI has been removed to preserve the user experience
  • 2022 LG A7 TVs are not supported in Calman currently and Portrait is working closely with LG in finding a resolution to this issue quickly
  • 2022 LG A9 QNED and Nanocell models – LED local dimming is being forced on when disabling Cal Start, this will show significant luminance differences for post calibration as well as shifts in overall calibration quality – Users can manually set this again post calibration to validate calibration behavior. We’re working with LG to find a better long term solution
  • 2022 LG A9 – 8K models require a hard power cycle for the 3D LUT to be applied.  This is a current hardware limitation
  • 2022 LG (all models) – internal patterns are not currently supported
  • SPECIAL NOTE:  Link to KB article regarding how to install Portrait Displays Patterns™ for Mac can be found here: /resource-center/patterns-for-mac
