This section describes the standard glossary of terms used in all LCD display models. All terms are listed in alphabetical order.
NOTE: Some terms may not be applicable to your monitor.

Advanced DCR technology automatically detects the image signal and intelligently controls the backlight brightness and color to improve on the ability to make the black blacker in a dark scene, and make the white whiter in a bright environment.
Audio Adjust
Adjusts the volume, mutes the sound, or toggles between inputs if you have more than one source.
Auto Detect
If the current input source has no signal, the monitor will automatically switch to the next input option. This function, on some models, is disabled by default.
