SONY PVMX550 and the LG OLED55C7P doesn't seem to have this either

Change the color temperature to warm 2 on the TV
Click on the "Infinity" button and warm 2 then warm 1, neutral, cool and found out warm 2 is best because the dot was closest to the white point

Shows what the TV is displaying in reference to the white boxes.


White Boxes = Optimum Color or Legal Range

the dot in the white box to set the Green Correctly
