In Reply to: Component video wired systems do not need colour adjustments? posted by jeromelang on June 27, 2004 at 22:11:18:
The Color control will adjust the colors equally in all of the systems that you mentioned, but if they aren't in the correct proportion in the first place they won't be corrected by the Color control. That's why displays not only need to be calibrated, they need to be calibrated to the source they are being fed.Here's the short, non-technical, non-exception version. The color you see a display output is a mix of Red, Green and Blue (RGB). If the manufacturer set Red a bit high and Green a bit low, these two colors will still be a bit hot and a bit cool when you adjust the Color control. Think of the Color control as a Master Volume Control in a multi-channel receiver/processor. Turn it up, all channels increase in volume. Turn it down, all channels decrease in volume. If your Center channel was set 2dB too high relative to the other channels, it will still be 2dB too high no matter where the Master Volume Control is positioned.
What is not supposed to be adjusted is Tint/Hue in a component system. That doesn't mean that some displays don't offer this ability. And it also doesn't mean that they are correct in allowing it.
