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 the bright areas,  contrast ratio is uplifted to exceed 2000:1. DCR va lue 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 the darker areas. Please note when DCR is on, DCB will be disabl ed.
