5.1.1. 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
1) Surrounding Temperature: 25 °C ± 5 °C
2) Warm-up time: About 5 Min◦

Minutes.
2) In case of LCD, Back-light on should be checked using
