High-performance Image Processing Engine for Superb Moving Image Quality

Chromatic Gamut • Precise 10 bit image processing uses a three-dimensional LUT (Look Up Table) for each RGB color to achieve faithful color reproduction from low to high brightness levels.
• The diagonal line compensation circuit minimizes jagged noise on diagonal lines.
• The high-speed, high-performance I/P conversion circuit achieves superb motion response with a delay of less than one field between input and panel display.
• Improved response time in intermediate gradations provides vivid and clear image displays without blurring.

Gradation and RGB Manual Adjustment

In order to match the LCD monitor to professional broadcasting applications, compensation is conducted for each monitor in 256 discrete RGB steps, and rated gamma properties (g = 2.2) are reproduced. The color temperature can also be set to 9300K, 6500K or 5600K, and manual white balance lets you directly adjust gain and bias for R, G and B.
