DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data from the PC directly without loss with the
signal transition method "TMDS". There are two kinds of DVI connectors. One is DVI-D connector
for digital signal input only. The other is DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.
DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)
The Power management system for the digital interface. The "Monitor ON" status (operation mode)
and the "Active Off" status (power-saving mode) are indispensable for the DVI-DMPM as the
monitor's power mode.
Gain Adjustment
Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD monitor is displayed
through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. The colors
on the monitor are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can change by adjusting
the illumination amount passed through each color's filter.
Gamma
Generally, the relationship that the light intensity values of a monitor change nonlinearly to the input
signal level is called "Gamma Characteristic". On the monitor, low gamma values display the whitish
images and high gamma values display the high contrast images.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection)
Digital signal coding system developed to copy-protect the digital contents, such as video, music, etc.
This helpsto transmit the digital contents safely by coding the digital contents sent via DVI terminal
on the output side anddecoding them on the input side.Any digital contents cannot be reproduced if
both of the equipments on the output and input sides are not applicableto HDCP system.
Resolution
The LCD panel consists of a fixed number of pixel elements which are illuminated to form the screen
image. The display panel of this monitor consists of 2560 horizontal pixels and 1600 vertical pixels.
At a resolution of 2560 x 1600, images are displayed as a full screen (1:1).
Temperature
Color Temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin.
At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears
somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at high temperature settings.
5000 K: Slightly reddish white.
6500 K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight.
9300 K: Slightly bluish white.
