Once you know which level of filter is appropriate for your display, use the instructions given for the Color and Tint pattern to set your Color and Tint (or Saturation and Hue) controls.

If the red, green, and yellow bars are still barely visible through the 3X filter, continue with the calibration you should be able to get close to the correct levels.

The 3X filter is very dark, so you will need to be in a dark room with your eyes completely adjusted to the light to use it. If the bars still are not black, fold the filter at the score in the center and look through both sides to form a 3X filter.If they are not black, but slightly red or green, or look a little brighter than the black background, then switch to the 2X side.The large red, green, and yellow bars on the left should turn black, and should be indistinguishable from black area around them.

Look through the 1X side of the filter.The Spears & Munsil Calibration Filter is used with the Color and Tint pattern to set the Color and Tint controls (sometimes called “Saturation” and “Hue”) on your display.ĭifferent displays need different levels of filtering to do a proper calibration, so the filter allows for 1, 2, or 3X filtering. If we can find a filter that works, we will consider including one in the future. Because we don’t advocate setting Color & Tint for UHD displays, our UHD disc is sold without a filter included. We include the instructions below for those using older TVs, or for enthusiasts who want to learn more about the history of television calibration. Manufacturers still include these controls on TVs because people are used to them being there, and some customers would complain if they were gone. More importantly if the color decoding is not right, the problems are not ones you can typically fix with the Color and Tint controls. The color decoding is usually correct out of the box in at least one of the picture modes (usually “Cinema” or some similarly-named mode). Important Note: We do not recommend changing the Color and Tint controls on any UHD TV.
