Wizard Color Test Help

( This is the wizard's color test screen for Monitor Calibration Wizard.)

What you can do on this screen:

Step 1, setting min and max:

The first thing you should do on this screen is set the min and max color values your monitor displays. To set the max color value, more the slider under the top box in "Step 1" as low as possible before you can tell a difference between the bottom half of the box and the top half of the box. To set the min color value, move the slider under the bottom box in "Step 1" as high as possible before you can tell a difference between the bottom half of the box and the top half of the box.

Step 2, test patterns:

After performing step 1, it is now time to calibrate all the midrange colors between the min color you have chosen and the max color you have chosen in step 1. To peform step 2, sit at least 2 feet from your monitor at normal view height. This is especially important with LCD monitors as the colors change depending on your viewing angle, so perform the tests sitting the same way you would normally view your monitor. For each of the 7 boxes in "Step 2", adjust the slider under each box until the small middle solid colored box matches the color of the outter test pattern.

There are 3 tests run, one for each of the following: red, green, and blue. After completing one test, click the "Continue" button to move to the next.
