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.
