What is DCB? Dynamic Color Boost (DCB) is an advanced color adjustment technology. Through analyzing RGB signals, DCB creates more vivid and natural images to suit various color environment needs. DCB has two types of color enhancers: “Color Boost” and “Picture Boost” .
Nature Skin: When "Natural Skin" is turned on, the red and yellow colors are enriched automatically, thus presents human skin with more natural and truer colors. "Natural Skin" setting is ideal for viewing human portrait and detailed skin texture. Green Field: When "Green Field" is turned on, the green color is enriched so that football field and mountain landscape would look more natural and fresh. “Green Field” setting is ideal for watching mountain scenery and outdoor sports.
Sky Blue: When"Sky Blue" is turned on, the color blue is being fine-tuned so that the sky or ocean landscape will look more vivid and in-depth. "Sky Blue" setting is ideal for viewing sky and ocean images. Auto Detect: Demo: When “Auto Detect” is turned on, every pigment will be detected and self-adjusted to render a lively picture. Screen divided into two for demonstration purposes. 2) How to use Picture Boost? Users can change the color settings of a self-selected zone on the screen.
DCR Adjustment 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 60000:1. 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.
