•Gamma is an image quality enhancement function
that offers a richer image by brightening the darker
portions of the image without altering the brightness
of the brighter portions.
•Four gamma settings are available to allow for
differences in the images displayed and in the
brightness of the room.
•When you are displaying images with frequent, dark
scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are
displaying images in a bright room, this feature makes
the dark scenes easier to see and gives the
impression of greater depth in the image.
