The colour calibration step

Your screen will flash a few different colours while the device takes some readings, then stop here:

You need to explore your screen's menu and find the controls for red, green and blue.  Adjust them gently, and hit the "Update" button each time you make a tweak.  The goal is to get the tops of the three columns all in line with each other.

This is the part which I can't precisely help you with, because every screen's buttons are different.  For example, this is what one of my Dells looks like:

Whereas some screens will simply have numbers:

Be patient in this process.  It might take a little while.

If it seems to be telling you that one of the colours needs to go higher, but you've already got that colour at maximum, don't worry.  Bring the other two colours down instead.  It'll balance out.

Hopefully you'll end up with a great result like this:

Once you're done, press "Continue".

I have looked and looked and I can not find the section that allows me to control the RGB bars. Here is how it looks. 

[Damien Symonds]

Do you mean you can't find those controls on your screen?

[SRubyor]

Correct. There is a color section and it says six-axis hue and six-axis saturation but all it does it change the colors on the screen and not allow me to move the bars.  

[Damien Symonds]

Even when you press the Update button?

[SRubyor]

When I press the update button the current kelvin is moving up or down by one point at a time. I did find the control section for my monitor but I just can't find the RGB controls to raise/lower those levels. Sorry if it's confusing...it's been a long day.

Is there one called "gain"?

[SRubyor]

Yes

 

[Damien Symonds]

That should be the one.

[SRubyor]

OH!! That worked!! Yay and thank you!!!

[SRubyor]

How close do the current and target levels need to be? My target says 6500 and current is 6475. Keep trying?

[SRubyor]

Here is how it looks now.

[Damien Symonds]

This is fantastic.

Ok. Thanks again for your help.
