NEC PA242W User Manual

English

The white point can be copied from one display to one or more additional displays. Using this feature reduces the variation 
between different displays allowing them to match each other more closely.
White Point Matching/Copy does not compensate for a typical yellow color shift due to long-term LCD usage. If this yellow shift 
is noticeable, please do Self Calibration. See page 33.

NOTE: 

Stand-alone calibration can only be performed using the MDSVSENSOR3. 
Refer to the KEY MAP (Figure A) when changing settings during the calibration. 
Calibration can be performed in either portrait or landscape orientation.

NOTE: 

You can start calibration without computer as following.
When there is “NO SIGNAL” menu, press “LEFT”, then “RIGHT” button and hold down simultaneously. All White 
Pattern Image will be displayed. After this, Plug-in the USB color sensor to the side (or bottom when Portrait 
orientation) USB downstream port. You can start Copy from step number 4.
