Sony CPD G410R Monitors

Have you tried the 'color restoration' feature in the menu? I had the same problem on my G420, and didn't use it because I asummed it was just color balance, but it also restored the correct brightness setting. Someone suggested it (also says it in the manual - doh), and it worked wonders!!

BTW - it won't let you do it until the monitor is warmed up about 20 minutes... Don

Thanks for the reply Don but I haven't seen the "Color restoration" feature in the menu, is it hidden somewhere There's colour temperature settings or expert mode to set the grey scale but nothing else obvious. John.

Under the 'Color' selection, mine has two choices - one for color temperature, and the other "Image Restoration" (my mistake on calling it Color Restoration before)..... Here's a link to a mod for the Sony's brightness problem (haven't tried it myself)...

Thanks Don, the Image Restoration command does not exist in the monitor software that the G410 monitors have but if I put a meter on the G2 output it's loading does correct the picture brightness so I think the modification you pointed out to me will work. I will let you know how things work out in the end but I'm afraid that I have been diverted on to more viable work at the moment. Cheers for now John.
