Contrast
Select Contrast when you want to increase or decrease the perceived difference
between light and dark areas of your image (0-255). If contrast is set too high, the
light parts of the image loses detail and clarity. If the value is set too low, the
light areas will not be as bright as they could be and the resulting image will
appear dim. Start low and increase so that whites remain bright but are not
distorted or tinted, and that light areas do not become white (i.e., are “crushed”).
For best results, keep close to 128 for graphics (mid-range value).

the image (0-255). Start high and decrease so that dark areas do not become

(mid-range value). The value will differ for video sources.
