3. Image Optimization

3.2  SmartContrast

  What is it?

Unique technology that dynamically analyzes 
displayed content and automatically optimizes 
a LCD 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.
