The image is too dark or light, or the colors are incorrect. What should I do?

• If the projected image is too dark or light, or the colors are incorrect, try the following solutions:

  • Press the Color Mode button on the remote control to try different color modes for the image and environment.
  • Check your video source settings.
  • Adjust the available settings on the Image menu for the current input source, such as Brightness, Contrast, Tint, Color Saturation, and RGBCMY. RGBCMY should be set by a professional color calibrator using specialized color calibration tools in a controlled lighting environment.
  • Make sure you selected the correct Signal Format or EDID setting in the Signal I/O menu, if available for your video source.
  • Make sure you selected the correct Dynamic Range setting in the Signal I/O menu.
  • For HDR images, set the Dynamic Range setting to Auto.
  • Make sure all the cables are securely connected to the projector and your video device. If you connected long cables, try connecting shorter cables.
  • Position the projector close enough to the screen.
