Gamma
Generally, the monitor brightness varies nonlinearly with the input signal level, which is called “Gamma
Characteristic”. A small gamma value produces a low-contrast image, while a large gamma value
produces a highcontrast image.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection)
Digital signal coding system developed to copy-protect the digital contents, such as video, music, etc.
This helps to transmit the digital contents safely by coding the digital contents sent via DVI terminal on
the output side and decoding them on the input side. Any digital contents cannot be reproduced if both of
the equipments on the output and input sides are not applicable to HDCP system.
Phase
Phase means the sampling timing to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal. Phase adjustment
is made to adjust the timing. It is recommended that phase adjustment be made after the clock is adjusted
correctly.
Range Adjustment
Range adjustment controls the signal output levels to display every color gradation. It is recommended
that range adjustment be made before color adjustment.
Rec709
Digital broadcasting (HDTV) standards dened by the ITU-R (International Telecommunication Union
Radio Communication Sector).
Resolution
The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specied size, which are illuminated to form images. This
monitor consists of 1920 horizontal pixels and 1200 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1920 x 1200, all
pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).
SMPTE-C
One of the standards provided by the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers).
sRGB(Standard RGB)
“International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space” A color space was dened with the aim of
the color matching between applications and hardware devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and
digital cameras. As a standard default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.
