4.11.Using the Auto Brightness Function
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or de- crease depending on the amount of ambient light in the room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions.
The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default. When AUTO LUMINANCE is ON, this function is disabled.
Setup: Select the brightness range
Use the following procedure to select the Brightness Range that the monitor will use when the AUTO BRIGHTNESS function is activated.
1.Set the BRIGHT level. This is the brightness level that the mon- itor will go to when the ambient light level is at its peak. Make sure the room is at its brightest when setting this level. Select “1” in the AUTO BRIGHTNESS menu (Fig. 21). Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS set- ting. Choose the desired BRIGHTNESS level (Fig. 22).
2.Set the DARK level. This is the lowest level of brightness that the monitor will go reach when the ambient light level is low. Make sure the room is at its darkest when setting this level. Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level (Fig. 23).
IMPORTANT INFO: To access the AUTO BRIGHTNESS func- tion, you must first access the Advanced OSD mode, TAG1 (4.9. Advanced Menu Functions).
