How to Adjust Colors on an LCD Monitor

Video Transcript

"My name is James, Computer Hardware Training Coordinator for InterConnection and I'm going to show you how to adjust the color on your monitor. What we have here is an average LCD monitor. You can change the color on this through the monitor itself independent of the computer. All the monitors out there are different but the inherited properties are all the same. The first thing you have to do is find the Menu button. Right here it says Menu. You push it and the menu's going to show up on the screen. We're right there. We want to use these buttons to get over to something that'll say Color. So we're going to go over, that's display size so we don't want that button so we'll go back, hit this button. there you go, Contrast, Image Lock, Color. Now what we want to do to get into it, so we're going to hit Menu again and now we can go into different precepts and users. We're going to scroll over and go to User. Hit Menu. Now we can adjust Red, Green, Blue. The mixture of these 3 colors makes all the colors you see on the monitor. So, maybe we need a little more red. We have red selected as you can see up here, now I've selected green, now I've selected blue. So, let's go back to red. Let's take some red out. You can put a little more in there and let's return it back to Default because I was pretty happy with the way that this monitor was. We can also go down to green. Adjust it all the way one way. Adjust it all the way the other way. One tip I have is to have a background that you know how you want it to look and keep adjusting until you get the desired effect. So let's go back to 50 because I was pretty happy where this monitor was and right about there. Pretty happy with that green. Colors up here look good. Little boy looks realistic. All the colors look just about right. The blue. Pretty happy with it. My name is James and I just showed you how to adjust your monitor's color."
