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.
