I notice a gamma adjustment in the menu of the bg808s.

It has adjustment for blue slope and breakpoint and R&B midlights. I can't find any information as to what this really does and I'm a gamma newbie. Can anyone explain this in simple terms?

Thanks!

Nevermind, I reread Kals Grayscale guide and guess what I found! more helpful nuggets! I also found a few other things I didn't know... again! Thanks Kal!

Blue gamma slope: Boosts the amount of blue in the high end. Think of it as a RGBHighEnd multiplier for blue only. Used to boost the blue output in the higher end as the amount of blue typically drops off the higher you go with CRT projectors.

Blue breakpoint: Controls the point along the greyscale where the blue gamma slope mentioned in the last point starts to have an effect. Lower numbers means that blue is boosted across the entire IRE range, higher numbers means that blue is only boosted at higher IRE's. These last 2 controls are very powerful at taming the blue output.

Red midlights: Increases/decreases the amount of red around the middle of the IRE range.

Blue midlights: Increases/decreases the amount of blue around the middle of the IRE range.
