 Brightness/Contrast Controls
BRIGHTNESS
Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness.
NOTE:  The brightness level is adjusted using the backlight output.
  The display will digitally compensate for low or high brightness levels.\
  If digital compensation occurs, the brightness value on the OSD will cha\
nge to magenta.
NOTE:   The optimal display performance will be in the range where the OSD brigh\
tness value is black. When the    
  display cannot achieve the desired brightness, the numerical brightness \
value on the OSD will blink.
NOTE:   For low brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate b\
y adjusting the screen contrast to    
  achieve the desired brightness. This will result in a reduced contrast ratio and the OSD indicator will \
change  
 to magenta.
NOTE:   For high brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate \
by turning down uniformity      
  compensation in order to achieve the desired brightness. The OSD indicator will change to magenta and this  
  may result in decreased uniformity.
CONTRAST (Analog input only)*1
Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness by input sign\
al level.
NOTE:   It is recommended to use BRIGHTNESS to adjust screen brightness for lowe\
r power consumption and    
  improved image quality.
ECO MODE
Decreases the amount of power consumed by reducing the brightness level.\
OFF:  No function.
MODE1:   Decreases the brightness range up to about 160 cd/m
2 (PA231W).
  Decreases the brightness range up to about 200 cd/m2 (PA241W/PA271W/PA301W).
MODE2:   Decreases the brightness range up to about 100 cd/m
2.
BLACK
Adjusts the black luminance.
When low settings are selected that cannot be displayed, the indicator o\
n the OSD will turn magenta.
  Auto Adjust (Analog input only)*1
AUTO ADJUST
Automatically adjusts the Image Position and H. Size settings and Fine s\
ettings.
AUTO CONTRAST
Adjusts the image displayed for non-standard video inputs.
 Image Controls
LEFT / RIGHT
Controls Horizontal Image Position within the display area of the LCD.
DOWN / UP
Controls Vertical Image Position within the display area of the LCD.
H.SIZE (V.SIZE) (Analog input only)*1 
Adjusts the horizontal size by increasing or decreasing this setting.
If the “AUTO Adjust function” do not give you a satisfactory picture setting, a fu\
rther tuning can be performed using the 
“H.Size (or V.Size)” function (dot clock). For this a Moiré test pattern cou\
ld be used. This function may alter the width of 
the picture. Use LEFT/RIGHT Menu to center the image on the screen. If the H.Size (or V.Size) is wrongly calibrated, 
the result would look like the left drawing. The image should be homogeneous.
When H.SIZE value is 
wrong. When H.SIZE value is 
improved. When H.SIZE value is 
correct.

GAMMA Allows you to manually select the brightness level of grayscale. There are  ve selections: sRGB, L Star, DICOM*3, PROGRAMMABLE and CUSTOM. We recommend to show 
grayscale image data on screen.
sRGB: GAMMA setting for sRGB.
L Star: GAMMA setting for eciRGB_v2*
2 and Lab color space.
DICOM*3: DICOM GSDF (Grayscale Standard Display Function) is typically used f\
or 
medical imaging.
PROGRAMMABLE: The brightness of grayscale can be changed to your preference 
by downloading the application software. You can select this when PICTURE MODE is 
PROGRAMMABLE. This function could not select on Advanced OSD menu.
CUSTOM: CUSTOM VALUE can be adjusted when CUSTOM is selected as the GAMMA 
SELECTION setting.
CUSTOM VALUE: The gamma value is selected from the rate of 0.5 to 4.0 by 0.1 steps.
BLACK Adjusts the black luminance. When the selected settings are too low to b\
e displayed,  the indicator on the OSD will turn magenta.
RED

COLOR VISION EMU  
Previews various typical human vision de ciencies and is useful for evaluating how 
people who have such de ciencies will perceive colors. This preview is available in four 
modes: Types P (Protanopia), D (Deutanopia) and T (Tritanopia) emulate color vision 
dichromacy, and Grayscale can be used for evaluating contrast legibility.
NOTE: Depending on the vision of the user, including those with color vision de ciency, 
there will be a variation in how the screens color is seen and experien\
ced. 
A simulation is used to illustrate the view of those with a color vision \
de ciency. It is 
not their actual view. The simulation is a reproduction of those with a strong color 
vision mode of type P, type D or type T. People with a slight color vision de ciency will 
experience little to no difference compared to those with normal color vision.
*2  except PA231W.  *3 PA231W uses “DICOM SIM.”, a value near DICOM gamma.

UNIFORMITY This function electronically compensates for the slight variations in th\
e white uniformity level as well as for deviations in color that may occur throughout the d\
isplay area of 
the screen. These variations are characteristic of LCD panel technology. This function 
improves the color and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display\
.
 NOTE: Using the UNIFORMITY feature does reduce the overall peak luminance of the 
display. If greater luminance is desired over the uniform performance of the di\
splay, 
then UNIFORMITY should be turned off. A higher number produces a better effect, but 
may also reduce CONTRAST RATIO. When BRIGHTNESS is shown in magenta, the 
UNIFORMITY setting is automatically changed.
Tag2 SHARPNESS   This is a digital capability for keeping a crisp image at all signal tim\
ings. It continuously 
adjusts to maintain as distinct or as soft image as you prefer, and is set independently 
according to different timings. Press “LEFT” or “RIGHT” to adjust.
RESPONSE 
IMPROVE  Turns the Response Improve function on or off. Response Improve may reduce blurring 
that occurs in some moving images.
ECO MODE Decreases the amount of power consumed by reducing the brightness level.\

.
Note: Do not cover environmental brightness sensor (AUTO DIMMING sensor).
METAMERISM Improves the white point color matching when the display used side-by-si\
de with a  standard gamut display monitor. This feature compensates for the way the human eye 
perceives colors slightly differently compared to the scienti c instrument used to adjust 
the display during calibration.
AMBIENT LIGHT 
COMP.  Luminance setting depends on ambient light compensation.
Mostly affects black reproduction. 
NOTE: AUTO DIMMING SENSOR measures ambient brightness when power is on and 
affects image and color quality settings. 
NOTE: Do not cover environmental brightness sensor (AUTO DIMMING sensor).
