Operation 34 Color Temp (depends on the selected Application mode) There are four color temperature* settings are available. 1.T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish white than other settings. 2.T2: Makes images appear bluish white. 3.T3: Maintains normal colorings for white. 4.T4: Makes images appear reddish white. *About color temperatures: There are many different shades that are considered to be “white” for various purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it. Brightness (depends on the selected input source) Adjusts the brightness of the image. The higher the value, the brighter the image. And lower the setting, darker the image. Adjust this control so the black areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is visible. Contrast (depends on the selected input source) Adjusts the degree of difference between dark and light in the image. The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment. Color (depends on the selected input source)Increases or decreases the color intensity of the image. Tint (50) Adjusts the color tones of the image. The higher the value, the more greenish the image becomes. The lower the value, the more reddish the image becomes. When a Video or S-Video signal is connected, the function is only available with NTSC system selected. 50-30+70 -30 50+70 Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
