Six Axis Control is a feature developed by LG that allows precise adjustment of monitor colors across six parameters, covering both primary and secondary colors:
- Primary Colors: Green, Red, Blue
- Secondary Colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
It’s important to note that image transmission standards primarily use only three primary colors: green, red, and blue. The secondary colors are mixtures of these three primary colors:
- Magenta is created by mixing red and blue
- Cyan is created by mixing blue and green
- Yellow is created by mixing red and green
Six Axis Control allows you to adjust the intensity of two colors simultaneously, making the process of fine-tuning easier and more precise. For example, adjusting red and blue together produces magenta, while mixing blue and green results in cyan.
Six Axis Control: How It Works
This feature enables simultaneous adjustments to the intensity of two colors, which in turn affects the remaining three since they are mixtures of the primary colors. With Six Axis Control, you can calibrate the monitor to specific color profiles, ensuring more accurate color reproduction across the display.
This level of precision is especially important for professionals working with graphics or photography. The feature ensures that the monitor’s color gamut is finely tuned to match specific color requirements, which is essential when accuracy in color shades is critical. For example, when preparing images for print, every shade needs to match perfectly with what is displayed on the screen to avoid discrepancies between what is seen on the monitor and the final printout.
Confusion with Six Axis Control
This technology was in LG monitors 2014-2016, but gamepad manufacturers also invented such technology, embedding in gamepads horoscopes that transmitted to the screen gamepad movements in space, up, down, left, right, forward and back, in general by six points. Therefore, faced with such ambiguous interpretation of the name of the technology later LG refused to use the name of this technology in technical descriptions, although it remained in the monitors as a simple setting.
