Left figure: A bright picture overall, with no
change.
Right figure: A dark picture overall, with peak
brightness reproduced even brighter.
Left figure: Power consumption is reduced
by restraining the brightness of a bright
picture, overall.
Right figure: For a picture that is dark
overall, similar to STANDARD, peak
brightness is made even brighter.
Image signal gradations are reproduced
faithfully, with no control applied. The part
of a dark picture, overall, for which peak
brightness is not raised reduces burn-in and
other types of panel deterioration.
