How to set monitor saturation control

[Elliott Balsley]

I’m talking about professional displays with a  saturation / chroma knob.  Is there  a way to do this with displaycalGUI?  I imagine it would be part of the interactive display adjustment dialog.  Put up a few patches of primary and secondary colors and let the user adjust the saturation knob until it hits the target.  But I don’t see any way to do this.

There’s probably only one setting where it doesn’t clip or limit the gamut.

No. It’s aimed at profiling, and for that it is usually desirable to measure the native (largest) gamut.

If you have SMPTE color bars, and the monitor has a blue-only mode, it’s easy to set chroma.  But this seems like a useful thing to add for monitors that don’t have blue-only mode.  How else would you know which is the right setting?

The correct setting is usually the one where any of the monitor’s own CMS controls (e.g. saturation, 6-axis-controls and the like) are not altered.  For TVs the story might be a bit different.
