Why is LED Signage calibration essential?
Ensuring a completely uniform picture that keeps customers engaged
As technology has made LED signage more affordable and practical, vivid and bezel-free LED signage has become the new norm for many commercial applications with brighter, larger and more customizable screens. Beyond initial installation and setup, the long lifespan of LED displays sometimes necessitates module replacements requiring calibration to ensure a completely uniform yet engaging picture.

Samsung Color Expert LED Software
Color Expert LED is a software app that lets users fine-tune Samsung LED displays to provide optimal viewing experiences. In addition, our app can also uniformly align the brightness and color of a whole screen. To better serve businesses in today’s fast-paced environment, Samsung’s Color Expert LED Mobile app allows users to easily adjust their LED signage on-the-go with three key benefits.
Pixel-level uniformity
Video display walls are an impactful way to engage with customers, but they must have total color uniformity to maximize and maintain engagement. Samsung’s Color Expert LED provides pixel-level uniformity, bringing more precise and refined picture quality to life, when compared with module-level uniformity. Using professional calibration devices, the uniformity is accurate and flawless, enhancing even the subtlest details and catching the attention of customers with stunning visuals.
Complete customization of calibration
Color Expert LED offers convenient color and brightness calibration, through a range of powerful performance capabilities including gamut mapping, color temperature, white balance and screen uniformity. These all allow for detailed customization and accurate color presentation, offering businesses the opportunity to communicate important messages to each and every customer.
Simple setup with easy UI
Color Expert LED offers a simple, step-by-step Windows wizard-based setup process, designed to make the installation process as seamless as possible. Its user-friendly interface, which is easy to follow and calibrate as needed, means users will have no difficulty when setting up and utilizing the solution. By simplifying the setup process, Samsung allows users to implement the solution quickly and efficiently, maximizing the benefits for both the business and its customers.
Calibration process
Step1. Connect LED signage to the computer
Step2. Install Color Expert LED and LSM on the computer
For system authorization, please contact your Samsung account manager
Step3. Connect colorimeter or DSLR camera to computer using USB cable
Step4. Confirm LED signage is using latest firmware, update if necessary
Step5. Select and measure data of target module to be calibrated
Step6. Select existing calibrated module as reference or enter target setting data
Step7. Run calibration
If using DSLR camera, upload calibration results to LED signage through LSM
Wireless connection capabilities
Using just a mobile phone camera and Wi-Fi network, calibration with Color Expert LED Mobile can be done without the need for additional, expensive professional devices. When an existing module must be replaced, Color Expert LED Mobile can be used to reach a resolution from anywhere, any time. Samsung’s innovative remote capabilities provide businesses the perfect solution to instantly and efficiently calibrate on-site, meaning no downtime for the display and maximum engagement with customers.
Automatic calibration
When replacing modules on a LED display wall, engineers traditionally compare new and existing modules with the human eye, increasing the likelihood that more nuanced issues are missed. Color Expert LED Mobile calibrates automatically based on a target area ensuring it does not miss any subtle differences in color and brightness. This creates a more accurate and uniform picture, bringing stunning pictures to life in vivid color and detail.
Fast and effective calibration
Color Expert LED Mobile provides dramatic time saving capabilities when compared to conventional, manual calibration, which can take up to an hour to finish. This simplifies onsite maintenance, but ensuring any issue is fixed quickly, not impacting the business or interactions with customers. In addition, by making adjustments based on a standard target figure, as opposed to needing an engineer, Color Expert LED Mobile is a time and cost-efficient solution for businesses looking to stand out.

Create brilliant images continuously
With Samsung’s Color Expert LED Cinema, users are able to calibrate a LED screen’s color to each of the modules. This allows users to modify the color of the modules within a cabinet with an editing value of 3x3 RGB matrix, allowing for brilliant images and content that is true-to-life with exceptional projection.
Edge correction for seamless content delivery
On any LED screen, there are seams between each of the modules. Samsung’s Color Expert LED Cinema helps users deliver seamless content by adjusting the pixel brightness of the module on the border. Through edge correction, users can create a flawless LED display with remarkable graphics and content.
