YCM adjustments are in the third icon labeled "Color Temperature "in the OSD menu. When adjusting YCM values, RGB values will also be changed automatically due to the color correlation between RGB and YCM.

Please go to the fourth icon labeled “Color Boost” in the OSD menu and select one of the five settings you desire to be turned on. Full Enhance: more vibrant.

Please note when adjust or turn on any one of the DCB features, the rest of color settings including DCR will be disabled or return to default.
What is DCR? Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) auto adjusts the brightness of the screen so users can see the darker areas of the displayed content in more depths. By increasing the darkness of the dark areas and the brightness of the bright areas, contrast ratio is uplifted to exceed 2000:1. DCR value varies subject to the original CR values of the LCD module. The higher the original CR, the higher DCR can be achieved. DCR is great for watching movie or video contents.
