75 Ohm Terminators why?

Okay. Thanks for that. So there is a good reason to run with the terminators in place; mainly to not overly tax the input components.

Yes, it doesn't seem to be an issue without the terminators. I was able to properly calibrate the monitor and tracks beautifully and all colors are about as close to perfect as I have ever seen.

I ordered some more terminators (others are being used elsewhere) and I'll install those and recalibrate when I get them
