A color reproduction correcting system and method, and a video display
device and method can reproduce original color by considering signal
source and display device. Each signal source information and each
display device information can be stored. The signal source and the
display device, which are currently used (e.g., corrected), can be
determined, for example, by a user selection. In one embodiment, the
signal provided from a transmission side can be inverse gamma-corrected
based on a corresponding signal source, and a colorimetric error of the
inverse gamma-corrected signal is preferably corrected using
corresponding signal source information and display device information.
The corrected colorimetric error signal can be gamma-corrected based on a
corresponding display device and then can be displayed on the
corresponding display device.
