Sony does not allow to increase Gain. How can Blue Gain be "2" ???
Settings for Green Bias are also missing Sad

I have read so many reviews on Sony w900, plus I own a set myself.
Sony is famous for not allowing to increase GAIN.
BIAS can be increased or decreased but they are very coarse.

I reckon GAIN on W900 cannot be increased.

Agreed. It's a big world.

I have the fortunate occasional travel to a few countries and nothing surprises me now. Well, almost nothing on this topic.

W900 Gain

Perhaps those who could not adjust their Gain are looking in the wrong menu? Or...perhaps, for some reason, their KDL-55W900As have different TV Options? Try this...and hopefully, your TV Options are the same as mine in America.

TV Options > Picture Adjustments > Advanced Settings > White Balance

In White Balance, you should find individual sliders for each of R- G- and B-Gain, as well as R- G- and B-Bias.

If you don't see those settings, then I would suggest you consult Sony eSupport for your country. Good luck!
