4.10. Using the Auto Brightness Function

The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to in-
crease or decrease depending on the amount of ambient
light in the room. If the room is bright, the monitor be-
comes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then
the monitor will dim accordingly. The purpose of this
function is to make the viewing experience more com-
fortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions.
The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by de-
fault. When Autoluminance is ON, this function is dis-
abled.
