3.1 SmartContrast
What is it?
Unique technology that dynamically analyzes
displayed content and automatically optimizes
a monitor's contrast ratio for maximum visual
clarity and viewing enjoyment, stepping up
backlighting for clearer, crisper and brighter
images or dimming backlighting for clear display
of images on dark backgrounds.
Why do I need it?
You want the very best visual clarity and
viewing comfort for every type of content.
SmartContrast dynamically controls contrast and
adjusts backlighting for clear, crisp, bright gaming
and video images or displays clear, readable
text for office work. By reducing your monitor's
power consumption, you save on energy costs
and extend the lifetime of your monitor.
How does it work?
When you activate SmartContrast, it will analyse
the content you are displaying in real time to
adjust colors and control backlight intensity. This
function will dynamically enhance contrast for a
great entertainment experience when viewing
videos or playing games.
