The professional world isn't immune to fiddling with colour:-

Barco used to make some of the best Grade 1 professional picture
monitors.


Their projectors are none too shabby, neither....


Their first generation had the colour controls on a panel at the side
of the screen, and were available to anyone to fiddle. They were
capable of being set up superbly, but always had a reputation for
being unstable, needing constant correction. When they brought out the
MkII version, everyone said how much better this one was, much more
stable, and could be left for long periods without adjustment. All
Barco did was redesign the monitor cosmetically, putting the controls
inside a locked drawer, the key normally held by the Engineering
Department. Sudden improvement in stability.


My dear old grandfather was always adjusting his watch (too slow, too
fast, whatever) - when he died, the watch suddenly started to keep good
time!

(An *eyesight* problem, I suspect! ;-)
