Use the check field modes for monitor calibration or to analyze individual color components of an image. In Monochrome
mode, all color is disabled and only a grayscale image is shown. In Blue, Green, and Red check field modes, only the selected
color will be shown.
Use the following procedure when calibrating the monitor to SMPTE color bars with the following procedure:
1. Allow the monitor to warm up for at least 5-10 minutes.
2. Display SMPTE split-field color bars on the monitor using an external source.
3. Enable Monochrome mode.
4. Locate the pluge pattern (super black, black, and gray bars) at the lower-right corner of the screen. Adjust the
Brightness button until there is no visible difference between the super black and black bars, but the gray bar is
still visible.
5. Adjust the Contrast button until an even grayscale appears along the top bars.
6. Disable Monochrome mode.
7. Enable Blue Check Field mode and adjust the Color button so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to
match in brightness.
