Depending on your TV or viewing
environment, images on the screen may lose
definition when a certain area of the image is
so light that it appears washed out, or so dark
that it blends into the surrounding dark areas.
By correcting the Gamma value, you can
adjust the brightness of selected areas to get a
clearer image. While the “BRIGHTNESS”
adjustment controls the brightness of the
entire image, the “GAMMA” adjustment is
useful when only some portions of the image
need adjusting.
Example: You are watching a movie that is
rich in shadows and you want to see the
hidden details of the scenery.
If you use “BRIGHTNESS” adjustment, the
entire image will become brighter, losing
definition of the areas that were initially
bright. The “GAMMA” adjustment enables
you to gradually increase the brightness of
only the darkest areas of the image without
sacrificing the definition of the entire image.
