DCR Adjustment
  
   
						

							 
   
What is DCR?   
Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) auto adjusts the brigh tness of the screen so users can see the darker areas of the displayed content in more depths. By increasing the 
darkness of the dark areas and the brightness of th e bright areas, contrast ratio is uplifted to exceed 2000:1. DCR value varies subject to the original  CR values of the LCD 
module. The higher the original CR, the higher DCR  can be achieved. DCR is great for watching movie or  video contents.  
  
How to Use DCR?   
Go to the first OSD icon labeled Luminance, turn  on or off DCR as desires. DCR boosts the contrasts  between lightness & darkness and enables the viewer  to see more 
layers and details of the picture, especially in th e darker areas. Please note when DCR is on, DCB wil l be disabled.
