LCD Monitor Calibration
Hey gang,
I have an LCD external monitor that I am trying to calibrate properly. Unlike the old tube monitors, this LCD doesn’t have the “blue mode”, so everything is looking cool. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good external calibrator? Most of the material will be mastered for broadcast.
I am using a Panasonic BT-LH2550P monitor. The computer is a Mac Intel based Duo-core, running a kona3 card.
Thank you in advance.

My 1700 has blue. I’d be surprised if the “big brother” didn’t. Look in the menu structure in System Config > Function 1 or 2. You should see a choice for Blue Only in the list. When you select it, pushing the Function 1 or 2 button on the monitor will put it into Blue Only.

John,
Thank you. You were right, the blue only function does exist. It was found in sub menu 6, page 4, in the second option. Of course the manual for the unit doesn’t supply this information too well. So again, thank you for your assistance and saving me a bit of cash on the calibrator kit.
