RGB white balance adjustment
Conditions
# Make sure the front panel to be used on the final set is fitted.
# Center position
Adjustment
1. Select the IIC mode “LCD Drive Adj.” item.
2. Check that the color temperature is “MID”.
3. Output a white balance pattern. Confirm white balance pattern is displayed.
4. Touch the signal receiver of color analyzer to the highlight window’s center.
5. Fix one (R drive) at 30h and adjust other drivers so x, y become the Value in the below table. (the highest RGB´s drive value is 30h)
6. At least fix one of the RGB’s drive data at 30h and adjust the others drive so x/y (The highest RGB’s drive value is 30h)
