Video/S-Video/Component/RGB TV/RGB PC The unit supplies 10 types of patterns for dealing with these changes. (page39)

A-E Provides the same sense of contrast as an ordinary TV monitor. Dark sections

become more muted in the order A E.

a-e Provides richer expression of gradations in dark sections. Dark sections become

more muted in the order a e.
