Notes

Use BlasterControl Color Settings to adjust the colors of your screen display.

All monitors display colors slightly differently from other monitors.  Manufacturing differences, lighting conditions, ambient temperature and color fluctuations all affect the way you see the color on your screen.

To set the display color settings back to the factory default settings, click the Factory Default button.
Your display's brightness, contrast, and Gamma correction levels will revert to the default settings.


To select test graphics

Click the arrow button in the Test Graphics box and select a test graphic.

Tips

Test graphics are provided to help you adjust the color of your display.

Experiment with the Test Graphics items and familiarize yourself with the consequent effects of adjustments.
Test graphics show you immediately the effects of the adjustments you make.


To select the target color

Click the down-arrow button in the Target Color box and select a color component.

Note

If you select All (Red+Green+Blue) as the target color, brightness, contrast, and Gamma correction adjustments will be duplicated uniformly for all the individual colors.


To adjust the brightness, contrast and gamma correction

To get the amount of brightness, contrast, or Gamma correction you want, move the corresponding slider left (to decrease) or right (to increase).

The following describes the options available:

This Option	Allows You To

Brightness	Change the amount of light that is emitted by the display.

Contrast	Change the relationship between light and dark elements of the display.
A high contrast image is stark, like a black-and-white tiled floor.  A low contrast image is muted and "washed-out", as if the scene is viewed through a fog.

Gamma Correction	Change the intermediate color intensity on the screen.
Use Gamma correction to adjust the color tonal balance.

Notes

If you select All (Red+Green+Blue) as the target color, brightness, contrast, and Gamma correction adjustments will be duplicated uniformly for all the individual colors.

To set the display color settings back to the factory default settings, click the Factory Default button.
Your display's brightness, contrast, and Gamma correction levels will revert to the default settings.
