If necessary, fine tune the color temperature.

Press or to select the second color temperature adjustment row.

decreases the color temperature.

The sRGB color setting is an industry standard color space protocol designed to correlate the displayed and printed colors of sRGB compliant computer pruducts. To adjust the colors to the sRGB profile, simply select the sRGB mode in the color menu. However, in order to display the sRGB colors correctly (γ=2.2, 6500K), you must set your computer to the sRGB profile and adjust the brightness () and contrast () to the numbers shown in the menu. For information on how to change the brightness () and contrast (), see the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST adjustment.

NOTE: Your computer and other connected products (such as printer), must be sRGB compliant.
