A/V Device to allow PAL TINT adjustment - does one exist?

crunchie · 17-01-2010, 09:23

To achieve the the best colour balance for certain programmes, I'd like to be able to adjust the Tint control on my Panasonic 42" plasma for ALL sources, not just NTSC (the only time the Tint slider is adjustable). is there an external device on the market that will enable me to do this?

To be honest I'm not sure but why would there be? I mean Tint is not required on Pal, it's an NTSC thing of the past

LG TV's have this, but I'd rather buy an add-on than replace my Panny TV. I just want to have more control to easily tweak programmes that are too "red"

If your TV's levels are set correctly (and many aren't), then any extra "redness", "blueness" or "greenness" is an artistic decision by the director. (League of Gentlemen was tinged brown, Slumdog Millionaire was tinted yellow)

PAL relates what the picture is meant to be
