for optimum picture quality.
The Crystal Series LCD Display has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration
standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed
carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has
implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to
obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco
recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF-certified installation
technician.
