selected areas (Gamma
Correction)
Depending on your TV or viewing
environment, images on the screen may lose
definition when a certain area of the image is
so light that it appears washed out, or so
dark that it blends into the surrounding dark
areas.
By correcting the Gamma value, you can
adjust the brightness of selected areas to get
a clearer image. While the “BRIGHTNESS”
adjustment controls the brightness of the
entire image, the “GAMMA” adjustment is
useful when only some portions of the image
need adjusting.
Example: You are watching a movie that is
rich in shadows and you want to see the
hidden details of the scenery.
If you use the “BRIGHTNESS” adjustment,
the entire image will become brighter, losing
definition in the areas that were initially
bright. The “GAMMA” adjustment enables
you to select the dark part and gradually
increase its brightness without sacrificing the
overall definition.
