5.1.3. Contrast Adjustment

STEP 3
CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT

The 

Contrast Adjustment

window will assist

you in placing your monitor in its optimal
dynamic for your colors. The right contrast
setting produces brighter colors through
continuous tones, detailed shadows and
highlights.

Important Info:

If your monitor does

not have an OSD control for

contrast, move on to the next step,

5.1.4. White Point Adjustment

, by

clicking on the 

Next

button. 

1) Using your monitor’s OSD, set your monitor to its highest contrast value.

2) Press 

Start

.

3) Using the OSD, decrease your monitor’s contrast value a few increments at a time. As you decrease the contrast of your
monitor, the slider will move to the left towards the green area. When it reaches this green area, a message will inform
you the monitor is correctly set. You may then click on the 

Next

button to go to the 

White Point Adjustment

window.

Caution!

Please do not modify your monitor’s brightness setting after this stage. Doing so will force you to

start the calibration and profiling process over.
