Notes:  
Gamma2.2 is used widely for various applications, providing highlight and shadow enhancement or 
defining a midtone.  

Gamma2.4 is recommended for high quality TV program production and REC709 color space.  

Gamma2.6 is the gamma standard for Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) and movie filming.  

HDR 

HDR is a new TV video standard that generates higher contrast and wide-gamut images and 
therefore, an HDR monitor is capable of displaying more colors and details of an image than the 
regular ones. The TLM-170K offers two HDR transfer functions listed as follows:  

 

ST 2084 or Perceptual Quantizer is able to represent luminance levels of 300, 1000 and 
10000 cd/m

2

.  

 

HLG stands for Hybrid Log-Gamma which is another HDR transfer function.  

Back Light 

Adjust the back light level from 0 – 100.  

Color Temperature 

Select a color temperature for your scene. Color temperatures available on the TLM-170K are listed 
as follows:  

 

3200°K 

 

5500°K (Desktop publishing or printing) 

 

6500°K (Usually for ordinary PC use) 

 

7500°K 

 

9300°K (TV pictures) 

 

User Color 

Note: Selection of the User Color mode allows you to manually set the color temperature by 
adjusting the Red Gain, Green Gain, Blue Gain, Red Offset, Green Offset and Blue Offset.
