3.2  SmartContrast

 

What is it? 

Unique technology that dynamically 
analyzes displayed content and 
automatically optimizes a Monitor's 
contrast ratio for maximum visual clarity 
and viewing enjoyment, stepping up 
backlighting for clearer, crisper and 
brighter images or dimming backlighting 
for clear display of images on dark 
backgrounds. 

 

Why do I need it? 

You want the very best visual clarity 
and viewing comfort for every type of 
content. SmartContrast dynamically 
controls contrast and adjusts 
backlighting for clear, crisp, bright 
gaming and video images or displays 
clear, readable text for office work. 
By reducing your monitor's power 
consumption, you save on energy costs 
and extend the lifetime of your monitor. 

 

How does it work? 

When you activate SmartContrast, it will 
analyse the content you are displaying 
in real time to adjust colors and control 
backlight intensity. This function will 
dynamically enhance contrast for a 
great entertainment experience when 
viewing videos or playing games.
