This pattern is designed for setting black level using the
Brightness control
.
First turn up Brightness black level is clearly elevated and boxes below 16 are visible. Then turn
Brightness down until box 16 matches the background. Once 16 blends into the background box
17 and above will be visible.
After setting Brightness, you should return to Contrast to make sure that it is set properly,
because on many displays the Brightness and Contrast controls affect each other. Move back and
forth between the Brightness and Contrast patterns and readjust until both patterns look correct.
Then move on to Color and Tint.
Note: If you just can’t get black level set correctly check the display for an HDMI setting like HDMI
full or limited range or HDMI high or low and change this setting and go back and try to adjust
black level.
Color and Tint – SMPTE Color Bars
This pattern is designed for setting the Color and Tint controls. (Note that Color might be called
“Saturation” and Tint might be called “Hue” on some displays.)
If your display has a “blue only” mode, use that. Otherwise use the Color Girls or Portrait Display
patterns to verify flesh tones and colors. Most displays today have a blue-only mode – if they
don’t – don’t use filters – they don’t work with the new displays. Put the TV in blue-only mode.
