5.3.6.1 Gamma Correction

The Gamma correction factor can be set to 2.2, 1.9, 2.5, and user.

Gamma is the relationship between the color values of the data and the color values displayed e.g. on a screen.
The Gamma coefficient makes it possible to adjust the brightness of the midtones only without affecting the very
bright and very dark areas..

If gamma is set too high, middle tones appear too dark. If it's set too low, middle tones appear too light.

Using Barco’s DCMS software (display consistency management software), the monitor can be calibrated and the
calibrated setting (look-up table, LUT) can be saved in the monitor. The gamma setting "user" activates the last
calibrated value.

Color temperature can be selected to be 3200K, 5400K, 6500K, 9300K or custom (User, requires to adjust the
values for red, green, and blue).

Color temperature stands for the spectral properties of a light source.
Low color temperature implies warmer (more yellow/red) light while high color temperature implies a colder
(more blue) light.
The pictures of a monitor set to 9300K will look more bluish than if set to 3200K.
