If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to
see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This improves
contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed
out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.
• Lamp: Select Lamp from the Display Color menu to adjust the projector lamp
brightness.
• Power (170W or 200W): To supply a constant wattage to the lamp, select Power
(170W or 200W) from the Lamp menu to set the lamp power level. You can choose
to run the lamp as bright as possible (200 watts; this is the default setting) or you
can choose the lower setting (170 watts). Generally, lower lamp output prolongs the
life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.
• Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color
temperature. Color temperature establishes the “color of gray” by adjusting the 75%
white point to various color points.
What are “color points?” A “color point” is an x/y coordinate pair that defines a
color’s location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph, shown in Figure 4-7. (CIE
stands for “Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage” (International Commission on
Illumination), the organization responsible for color measurement and management
standards.)

• Mode: With the VX-3000d, two color temperature adjustment modes are available:
Simple or Advanced. The two modes are mutually exclusive; when you select the
Simple mode, the Advanced selection in the Color Temp menu is grayed out.
Likewise, when you select Advanced, the Simple selection is grayed out.
