Attention
• It takes about 30 minutes for the monitor display to stabilize. Please wait 30 minutes or more
after power to the monitor has been turned on before adjusting the monitor.
• The same image may be observed in different colors on multiple monitors due to monitor-specific
characteristics. Make fine color adjustments visually when matching colors across multiple
monitors. Follow the procedure below to adjust and match colors across multiple monitors.
1. Display a white screen on each monitor.
2. Use one of the monitors as a visual reference point to make adjustments to "Brightness",
"Temperature", and "Gain" on the other monitors.
Brightness
Settings: "0" to "100"
The screen brightness is adjusted by changing the brightness of the backlight (light source
from the LCD back panel).
Temperature
Settings: "Off" / "4000 K" – "10000 K (in increments of 500 K. 9300K is included.)"
Adjusts the color temperature.
The color temperature is normally used to express the hue of "White" and/or "Black" with a
numerical value. The value is expressed in degrees "K" (Kelvin).

3 | Advanced Adjustment / Setting
