Standardized sRGB color gamut.
DICOM SIM.[1]
Suitable for projecting monochrome images.
Golf
Suitable for golf simulators.
3D[3]
Optimized for 3D content.
Brightness
The higher the value, the brighter the image. Lower values will result in a darker image.
Contrast
Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment.
Sharpness
A high value results in a sharper picture; a low value softens the picture.
Color
Adjust an image from black and white to fully saturated color.
Tint

Color Management
Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as: boardrooms, lecture halls, or home theaters should Color Management be considered. Color Management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it. If you have purchased a test disc, which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc., you can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the Color Management menu to make adjustments.
RGB Gain/Bias[1]
Configure the brightness (gain) and contrast (bias).
Color Space
Select from Auto, RGB (0~255), RGB (16~235), and YUV color space.
Light Source Mode Dynamic Black
Automatically adjust the picture brightness in order to give optimum contrast performance.

Native
Projects the image as its original resolution and resizes it to fit within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will be displayed in its original size.
Auto
Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector’s native resolution in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make the most use of the screen without altering the image’s aspect ratio.
Zoom Reduce or magnify the projected image
Image Shift Adjust the projected image horizontally or vertically.
Keystone Four Corners[6]
Adjust each corner to make a square image when the projection surface is not level.
