IRIS®(INTELLIGENT
ROOM ILLUMINATION
SENSOR)

Room illumination can have a
significant effect on the quality and
accuracy of color reproduction on­screen. The brighter the room, the
duller the color. The S490U’s built­in IRIS

®

automatically detects light
volume and color density, automa­tically adjusting mid-range color
tones as required for optimal color
reproduction under any lighting
conditions.
