The RGB balance shows the ratio of red, green, and blue that make up the black and white foundation of the picture. It is also known as grayscale or white balance. If this foundation is skewed, no amount of tweaking the color and tint will fix the image. Ideally, the R, G, and B should be well balanced from dark left to bright right. 120 115 110 105 100 95 90 85 80 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 RGBBalance 120 115 110 105 100 95 90 85 80 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 RGBBalance

The point gamma graph shows the display's brightness ratio as it transitions from dark to bright images. If the gamma is too low, the picture may look washed out with a "caked on makeup" look on brightly lit faces. If it is too high, dark images will be too hard to see and the image will look too contrasty. A good gamma also helps improve the depth of the image.

The color temperature is the color tone of the picture, from dark left to bright right. Lower numbers will result in a rustic, earthy tone while higher numbers suggest a bluish, steelgray look. The HDTV standard is 6504 degrees Kelvin. CorrelatedColorTemperature CorrelatedColorTemperature

The grayscale DeltaE is a standardized measure of error based on the eye's sensitivity to color error. It shows how visibly serious the above errors are with real images, with lower numbers indicating better performance. Errors of less than 5 are generally thought to be acceptable, while errors less than 3 are generally thought to be imperceptible with normal program material.

The grayscale scatter chart illustratess which direction the display's white balance gravitates toward at different brightness levels. Tight groups at the center target area indicate excellent performance. If the group cannot be in the target area, the next best thing is for it to be clustered along the black line, which is known as the Blackbody Curve.

The Color Checker gamut chart includes spectral simulations of light and dark skin, grass, blue sky, and other easily recognizable objects occuring frequently in nature to get a quick but comprehensive idea of how accurately the display reproduces normal images. Tight matching of the measurement dots with their respective target boxes indicate accurate color reproduction. CIE1976u'v' CIE1976u'v'

The Color Checker DeltaE shows how visible the overall error is at each point.

The gamut saturation DeltaE shows how visible the errors of each color are with real program material. While the first DeltaE chart was for white balance and gamma, this DeltaE chart shows the error for each primary and secondary color. It takes into account each color's amount of paleness or saturation and it's intensity, or how much of that color is added to the image. DeltaE2000 DeltaE2000
