To properly adjust contrast on a CRT based display decrease the contrast until the vertical lines start to straighten out If possible the two lines should be straight On some CRT the lines may not straighten even if you turn the contrast to its minimum If this is the case slowly increase the contrast to a point just before the vertical lines have extreme bending You have now properly set up the contrast of your display Continue to set up brightness as detailed above The Color8 Bars75 and Color8 Bars100 will assist in setting up the saturation color and hue tint of your display The Color8 Bars75 test pattern consists of 8 vertical bars across the screen at a 75 saturation level The Color8 Bars100 test pattern consists of 8 vertical bars across the screen at a 100 saturation level From left to right the bars are white yellow cyan green magenta red blue and black To properly adjust the saturation and hue you will need to use the blue colored filter that comes with AVIA You will also need to turn off any automatic flesh tone controls on your display before making these adjustments When the Saturation and Hue are adjusted correctly the white bar and the blue bar should be exactly the same shade when looking through the blue filter Saturation and hue settings interact with each other so after making this setting you may want to go back and check that the saturation setting is correct The Gray Ramp ca
