Click on the button above. You can print out the whole manual using the print command in your web browser.
Note that some manuals have many pages and diagrams. You may prefer to print out only sections of interest.
We recommend that you open and print only the pages you need. You can print them out using the print command of your web browser.

Adjust the image contrast ratio.
Adjust the luminance ratio between white (maximum luminance) and black (minimum luminance).
The higher the value, the sharper and more well-defined the image.
• Standard
• When the value is high, the image is sharp and well-defined.
• When the value is low, the image appears soft and natural.
The enhanced color function corrects the displayed colors by adjusting the chromaticity coordinate axes of six colors (RGB [red, green, blue] and CMY [cyan, magenta, yellow]) to give contrast.
The aspect ratio is the ratio between the height and length of an image. It is frequently expressed as 4:3, 16:9, etc.
Depending on the image resolution and the display settings, the image may be stretched in the vertical or horizontal direction, or some areas of the image may be cut off on the upper, lower, right, and left sides.
Set the image to the maximum display resolution or to the same aspect ratio as the display screen whenever possible.
• 16:9 image correctly displayed.
• 4:3 image displayed in 16:9. Image biased in the vertical direction.
• 4:3 image displayed in 16:9. Black bands appear on the right and left sides.
Color temperature. Adjust the color tone of the image.
A color temperature setting of 6500K corresponds to daylight color or a natural white.
A color temperature of 9300K is vivid but has a slightly bluish white quality.
A color temperature of 7200K is the intermediate setting between 6500K and 9300K.
Adjust the light of the screen. Appropriately adjusted brightness (luminance) reduces eyestrain.
• Standard
• Increase
The overdrive function instantly increases voltage changes during screen rewrites, thereby increasing the speed of color changes.
Although the color momentarily exceeds the intended color gradation when the voltage change is increased, the response time also increases. (The moving image seems to accelerate, dashing over the finish line and then snapping back.)
With overdrive, you are less likely to notice ghosting in fast-moving videos or games. The images look sharper as a result.
At the same time, overdrive may cause color drift, color changes, etc. for some images.
The blue reduction 2 function reduces blue light, a known cause of eyestrain for PC users.
• What is blue light?
The blue light emitted from displays causes eyestrain during PC use.
Long hours of exposure to blue light is also thought to disrupt the body clock.
Light wavelength and blue light
• What is the Blue Reduction 2 function?
This function can reduce blue light.
You can adjust blue light to suit your monitor use. You can reduce it, for example, when viewing photos or doing design work, or increase it when doing office work.
Super resolution. The super resolution function improves the perceived resolution of images: low-resolution images look sharper, even on large-size screens.
The CREX function controls the brightness of the backlight in real time to suit the brightness of the displayed image. The function can deepen the black of an already dark screen.
The CREX function controls the brightness of an image slowly and naturally according to the changing scenes. This makes it ideal for the viewing of movies, etc.
* Brightness does not exceed the luminance setting.
An LCD can display the full range of RGB values (0 to 255). This is called full range.
Old-time TV sets displayed an RGB range of 16 to 235. This is called limited range.
(Modern TV sets support the full range.)
Your monitor automatically identifies whether the image signal is full range or limited range and displays the image accordingly (default value).
If the image and range don’t match, blown-out highlights or crushed shadows may occur, or blacks or whites may appear gray.
These problems can be fixed by changing the Quantization Range setting.
