DCB Adjustment
What is DCB?
Dynamic Color Boost (DCB) is an advanced color adjustment
technology. Through analyzing RGB signals, DCB creates more
vivid and natural images to suit various color environment
needs. DCB has two types of color enhancers: “Color
Boost” and “Picture Boost” .
DCC:
Dynamic color control
ICM: Intelligent
color management
1) How to use Color Boost?
Five color-enhancement settings:
To accommodate various display needs, Color
Boost also offers 5 different color enhancement modes: Full
Enhance, Natural Skin, Green Field, Sky Blue, and Auto-Detect.
Please go to the fourth icon labeled “Color Boost”
in the OSD menu and select one of the five settings you
desire to be turned on.
Full Enhance: When "Full
Enhance" is turned on, the color saturation of the
entire screen is fully enriched, thus all colors become
more vibrant.
Nature Skin: When
"Natural Skin" is turned on, the red and yellow
colors are enriched automatically, thus presents human skin
with more natural and truer colors. "Natural Skin"
setting is ideal for viewing human portrait and detailed
skin texture.
Green Field: When
"Green Field" is turned on, the green color is
enriched so that football field and mountain landscape would
look more natural and fresh. “Green Field” setting
is ideal for watching mountain scenery and outdoor sports.
Sky Blue: When"Sky
Blue" is turned on, the color blue is being fine-tuned
so that the sky or ocean landscape will look more vivid
and in-depth. "Sky Blue" setting is ideal for
viewing sky and ocean images.
Auto Detect: When
“Auto Detect” is turned on, every pigment will
be detected and self-adjusted to render a lively picture.
Demo:
Screen divided into two for demonstration purposes.
2) How to use Picture Boost?
Users can change the color settings of a self-selected zone
on the screen. The size and position of the selected zone
can also be adjusted. "Picture Boost" is located
in the fifth icon labeled "Picture Boost" in the
OSD menu. Turn on "Bright Frame" to select a zone
on the screen to be enhanced. Please note when adjust or
turn on any one of the DCB features, the rest of color settings
including DCR will be disabled or return to default.
Disclaimer: DCB aftereffects
are subject to the resolution and quality of the display
content, hence may look different than the above illustrations.
DCR
Adjustment
What is DCR?
Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) auto adjusts the brightness
of the screen so users can see the darker areas of the displayed
content in more depths. By increasing the darkness of the
dark areas and the brightness of the bright areas, contrast
ratio is uplifted to exceed 30000:1（Typical）. DCR value varies subject
to the original CR values of the LCD module. The higher
the original CR, the higher DCR can be achieved. DCR is
great for watching movie or video contents.
How to Use DCR?
Go to the first OSD icon labeled "Luminance",
turn on or off DCR as desires. DCR boosts the contrasts
between lightness & darkness and enables the viewer
to see more layers and details of the picture, especially
in the darker areas. Please note when DCR is on, DCB will
be disabled.
