is expressed in degrees “K” (Kelvin).
In the same way as the ame temperature, the image on the monitor is displayed
reddish if the color temperature is low and is bluish if the color temperature is
high. The gain preset values are set for each color temperature setting value.
5000K The white color image is displayed reddish. The 5000K or 6000K
is usually used in the printing industry.
6500K The white color image is displayed in warm white like paper white.

●To adjust the gamma value [Gamma]
The gamma value can be adjusted. The luminance of the monitor varies
depending on the input signal, however, the variation rate is not proportional to
the input signal. To keep the balance between the input signal and the luminance
of the monitor is called as “Gamma correction”.
Adjustable range: 1.8, 2.0, 2.2
