I just received my DVE blu-ray from Amazon today & am having trouble using it, first off using the color filters my blue & red appear to be pretty close to what I need, but the green is WAY OFF, any suggestions? I've adjusted the tint & color but I'm not even getting close. Also is there a page that explains what exactly to adjust on each pattern? I watched the intro & they went pretty fast & not too in depth of what to adjust, seemed more like they kept talking about the specs of hd instead of telling me how to use your patterns, any help is HUGELY appreciated.

I know it sounds funny but I think my green color filter may be bad, I've tried adjusting everything!! & the green is not coming close to what it should be, & the red & blue seem just about right

If the red and blue are close, I'd say to call it good. Color filers are not perfect. If you want to get a colorimeter you might be able to get a better idea what's going on, but short of that you've probably already done what you can with the tools you have available.

The display has a color decoding error. It is quite common. Unless the set has a color decoding adjustment (G-BL might be what you need), there's nothing you can do, short of adding an external processor with such controls.

sorry to interupt :o

Tom,

A have seperate RGB drive's in my servicemenu but also RED/BL offset and Green/BL offset and with that i adjust the grayscale from 0-100 IRE.

Is my RED/BL and GREEN/BL offset only a cutoff setting or can i also do color decoding adjustment with them?
My TV is a pixelplus2 directview CRT from philips 32PW9520

Greetings,

Danny
