Adjusting Color Balance
58 m40L/m46L Installation & Configuration Guide
Color Balance values are saved for all input sources in the same memory location.
Color Balance is the same for all sources.
• Removing red has the same effect on hue as increasing blue and green
together. The COLOR BALANCE menu slider bars have colored bulbs at each end
to tell you what the effect will be of moving a color toward that end.
• Stand back from the display array and directly in front of it to get the overall
view.
• Small changes are difficult to see at first, particularly with white. When you
don’t know which color to change, pick one at random and change it 4 or 5
steps. The result will be either better or worse. If worse, go the other way with
that color. If that is also worse, put this color back where you started and do the
same with another color. If everything you do makes the match worse, you
must be close to the ideal point.
• You may find it easier to color balance displays using Cube Control 2, a
software utility available from Planar’s website. For more information, see
"Accessing Planar’s Technical Support Website" on page 93.
