EVF vs LCD Colour Shift

[Pete Wallington]

I recently used somebody else's camera on a shoot and noticed a very obvious colour difference between the image on the EVF vs the image on the Red 5"LCD.
I have just got round to checking on my own camera, and have noticed a similar thing. The EVF and LCD are noticeably different in colour. It's most obvious when looking at the luma histogram. It is grey on the LCD but distinctly more brown on the EVF.

Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?
I'm on release build 20.

Different display technologies being used and as of right now I don't think there's any way to specifically calibrate either the LCD or EVF.

Ok,

So this is a known issue.

So which is more accurate? The colour rendition on the EVF or the LCD?

Compared to the 5" LCD, the RED-EVF is more accurate.

The 7" RED-LCD is pretty close, but the RED-EVF has the advantage that when viewing it you are blocking out ambient light.
