Note

• If "Color Mode" is "SYNC_SIGNAL", the "Brightness", "Gamma (EOTF)", and "Color Gamut" are

automatically set according to the input signal and cannot be changed.

• Use the values in "Brightness" and "Temperature" as a guide.

Color Mode

Settings: "User" / "BT.2020" / "BT.709" / "DCI-P3" / "PQ_DCI-P3" / "HLG_BT.2100" /
"Adobe®RGB" / "sRGB" / "CAL" / "SYNC_SIGNAL"

Select the desired mode according to the monitor application.

Note

• For more information on how to switch modes, see

• For "CAL", see

.

Brightness

Settings: "40 cd/

" – "550 cd/

"

The screen brightness is adjusted by changing the brightness of the backlight (light source
from the LCD back panel).

Note

• If a value that cannot be set is selected, the value will appear in magenta. In such a case,

change the value.

Temperature

Settings: "Native" / "4000 K" – "10000 K" / "D50" / "D65" / "DCI" / "User"

Adjusts the color temperature.

The color temperature is used to express the chromaticity of "White". The value is
expressed in degrees "K" (Kelvin).

The screen becomes reddish at a low color temperature, and bluish at a high color
temperature, like the temperature of a flame.

Specify a color temperature in units of 100 K, or select a standard name.

Note

• Select "Native" to display the original colors of the LCD panel.

• "Gain" allows you to perform more advanced adjustment. When gain is changed, the color

temperature is changed to "User".

• The gain preset values are set for each color temperature setting value.

Gamma (EOTF)

Settings: "1.6" – "2.7" / "sRGB" / "EBU(2.35)" / "PQ" / "HLG"

Adjust the gamma.

The brightness of the monitor varies depending on the input signal, however, the variation
rate is not simply proportional to the input signal. The control performed to keep the balance
between the input signal and the brightness of the monitor is called Gamma correction.

Set the gamma, or select a standard name.
