Place the monitor 10 cm to 15 cm away from a flat wall (we recommend white colored wall). Ensure that Ambiglow is set to “on” mode. Start a movie, or play a game from your computer. The monitor will react with appropriate colors and project them on its rear-side on the wall creating a halo effect, overall matching the image on the screen.You can also manually select Bright, Brighter, or Brightest mode depending on your preference and your wall surface. A pure white color option is also available for “biased lighting” effect which helps reduce eye fatigue under prolonged usage.
