Brightness/Contrast Controls
BRIGHTNESS
Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness.
NOTE: The brightness level is adjusted using the backlight output.
The display will digitally compensate for low or high brightness levels.
If digital compensation occurs, the brightness value on the OSD will change to magenta.
NOTE: The optimal display performance will be in the range where the OSD brightness value is black. When the
display cannot achieve the desired brightness, the numerical brightness value on the OSD will blink.
NOTE: For low brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate by adjusting the screen contrast to
achieve the desired brightness. This will result in a reduced contrast ratio and the OSD indicator will change
to magenta.
NOTE: For high brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate by turning down uniformity
compensation in order to achieve the desired brightness. The OSD indicator will change to magenta and this
may result in decreased uniformity.
CONTRAST (Analog input only)*
Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness by input signal level.
NOTE: It is recommended to use BRIGHTNESS to adjust screen brightness for lower power consumption and
improved image quality.
ECO MODE (not recommeded for Medical Environment)
Decreases the amount of power consumed by reducing the brightness level.
OFF: No function.
MODE1: Decreases the brightness range up to about 160 cd/m
Decreases the brightness range up to about 200 cd/m2 (MDview 241/271).
MODE2: Decreases the brightness range up to about 100 cd/m

H.SIZE (V.SIZE) (Analog input only)*1
Adjusts the horizontal size by increasing or decreasing this setting.
If the “AUTO Adjust function” do not give you a satisfactory picture setting, a further tuning can be performed using the
“H.Size (or V.Size)” function (dot clock). For this a Moiré test pattern could be used. This function may alter the width of
the picture. Use Left/Right Menu to center the image on the screen. If the H.Size (or V.Size) is wrongly calibrated, the
result would look like the left drawing. The image should be homogeneous.
