About GAMMA Correction
Gamma is an image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without
altering the brightness of the brighter portions. Table below explains the different value ranges.
Gamma Value Influence on the displayed image
γ = 2.2 This is the standard value. With reference to the eye perception, the displayed image is the most natural
image. (Best match between camera recording, projector display and human eye).
1.0 < γ < 2.2 A lower value enhanced the details in the dark image content, without changing the black level, resulting
in a lower contrast perception.
2.2 > γ > 3.1 A higher value occurs a fade away of the details in the dark image content, without changing the black
level, resulting in a higher contrast perception.
