4)Setting HIGH CONTRAST

This is a function that, for video signal input, adjusts the brightness of the parts of the picture with intermediate brightness, thus emphasizing the brightness.

You should set HIGH CONTRAST to ON when playing software with many dark scenes or when using the unit in a bright environment.

When you wish to accurately reproduce fine details (for example the texture of human skin), you should set HIGH CONTRAST to OFF.
