4.4. White Balance Adjustment
4.4.1. Overview
▪ W/B adj. Objective & How-it-works
(1) Objective: To reduce each Panel’s W/B deviation
(2) How-it-works: When R/G/B gain in the OSD is at 192, it
means the panel is at its Full Dynamic Range. In order to
prevent saturation of Full Dynamic range and data, one of
R/G/B is fixed at 192, and the other two is lowered to find
the desired value.
(3) Adj. condition: normal temperature
- Surrounding Temperature: 25±5 °C
- Warm-up time: About 5 Min
- Surrounding Humidity: 20% ~ 80%
4.4.2. Equipment
(1) Color Analyzer: CA-210 (NCG: CH 9 / WCG: CH12 / LED:
CH14)
(2) Adj. Computer (During auto adj., RS-232C protocol is
needed)
(3) Adjust Remocon
(4) Video Signal Generator MSPG-925F 720p/204-Gray
(Model: 217, Pattern: 49)
※ Color Analyzer Matrix should be calibrated using CS-1000

4.4.5. Adj. method
4.4.5.1. Auto adj. method
(1) Set TV in ADJ mode using P-ONLY key (or POWER ON
key)
(2) Place optical probe on the center of the display
- It need to check probe condition of zero calibration before
adjustment.
(3) Connect RS-232C Cable
(4) Select mode in ADJ Program and begin a adjustment.
(5) When WB adjustment is completed with OK message,
check adjustment status of pre-set mode (Cool, Medium,
Warm)
(6) Remove probe and RS-232C cable.
▪ W/B Adj. must begin as start command “wb 00 00” , and
finish as end command “wb 00 ff”, and Adj. offset if need
4.4.5.2. Manual adj. method
(1) Set TV in Adj. mode using POWER ON
(2) Zero Calibrate the probe of Color Analyzer, then place it on
the center of LCD module within 10cm of the surface..
(3) Press ADJ key -> EZ adjust using adj. R/C -> 9. White-
Balance then press the cursor to the right (KEY►). When
KEY(►) is pressed 216 Gray internal pattern will be
displayed.
(4) To Adjust Cool Mode, Change the G gain over 172 (default
data) and change the others (R/B Gain). Detail Adjust
method refer to “Case Cool” described below
(5) Adjust two modes (Medium / Warm) Fix the one of R/G/B
gain to 192 (default data) and decrease the others.
※ CASE Cool
First adjust the coordinate far away from the target value(x,
y).B
(1) x, y > target
(2) x, y < target
(3) x > target , y < target
(4) x < target , y >target
Every 4 case have to fit y value by adjusting B Gain and then
fit x value by adjusting R-Gain.
In this case, increasing/decreasing of B Gain and R Gain can
be adjusted.
How to adjust
(1) Adjust G gain over 172 and then adjust R Gain and B
Gain(In Case of Mostly Blue Gain Saturation )
(2) When B Gain > 255, Adjust the G Gain under 172 and
Readjust
※ CASE Medium / Warm
First adjust the coordinate far away from the target value(x, y).
(1) x, y > target
i) Decrease the R, G.
(2) x, y< target
i) First decrease the B gain,
ii) Decrease the one of the others.
(3) x > target , y < target
i) First decrease B, so make y a little more than the target.
ii) Adjust x value by decreasing the R
(4) x < target , y > target
i) First decrease B, so make x a little more than the target.
ii) Adjust x value by decreasing the G
