The app is available through the Galaxy App Store is called SeeColors and it is aimed specifically at viewers with CVD.

Professor Wenzel developed the Colorlite Test, which uses color filters and mathematical modeling to diagnose CVD. Adjustments were required to the test in order for it to work in app form, with the end result being #SeeColors.

#SeeColors helps each user diagnose their “personal visual deficiencies” which are then used by the app to come up with the appropriate adjustment settings for any of Samsung’s QLED TVs.

Approximately eight percent of men and one percent of women are affected by CVD, and that worldwide there are nearly 300 million people with some form of CVD.
