Adjusting the Brightness and Contrast Values
The Brightness setting determines the black level of the monitor.
•
If you set the value too high or too bright, the monitor cannot
produce black. The result is a washed out image.
•
If you set the brightness value too low, the monitor produces the
dimmer grays as black. The result is an image with very low
contrast.
Adjust the screen brightness for the typical brightness level in the
room. Also, look near the edges of the screen. The edge is the best
place to determine if the background is actually black or merely gray.
Once you set the Brightness, the Contrast setting determines the white
level of the screen image. It defines the contrast between foreground
and background (the range between the lightest tones and the darkest
tones in an image). The optimum white level depends on room
lighting. Try to set the Contrast to the highest intensity that is
comfortable to you.
