Adjust display color and contrast
Advanced users may wish to adjust the default color and contrast settings of the SideCar display
controllers. This may be important to match printed output, rectify monitor deficiencies, or to
compensate for environmental lighting conditions.
Note that the default settings of the display controllers are carefully calibrated for best results for
most users. Also, many monitor manufacturers offer adjustment controls that will help you
optimize display quality or match printed output. So you have a choice of where your want to
apply your adjustments: at the controller or monitor levels (or both).
For those users who wish to alter display color and contrast at the controller level, we offer
adjustment controls via the Display Properties dialog box.
