- Jim Millick's remarks about color temperature adjustment of XBR^2
- reminded me that the KV20EXR10 has a "Trinitone" adjustment, which I
- take to be a color temperature adjustment with "high" and "low"
- settings.
-
- However, I'm not sure I can see any difference between the two. This
- is complicated by the fact that switching the setting causes a
- distracting blue "TRINITONE HIGH" or pink "TRINITONE LOW" label to
- appear at the bottom of the screen for several seconds. I tried
- looking at a small area of the screen, well away from this label, close
- up through a paper tube, and I think I detected a slight change in the
- color balance of a white area (the blue phosphor stripes seemed to get
- a little brighter in the "high" setting, etc.), but I'm not really
- sure.
-
- So, is TRINITONE real, or is it a placebo feature?
