Signal

The signal settings are used to configure advanced settings for input signals, such as the color format and input range.

Signal Information

You can check the information for the input signal.

Pixel Inspection

See Pixel Inspection.

Input Color Format

Settings: "Auto" / "YUV 4:2:2^*1" / "YUV 4:4:4^*1" / "YUV^*2" / "RGB"

Only available during HDMI signal input
Only valid for DisplayPort or USB-C signal input

The color space of the input signal can be specified.

Try changing this setting if colors are not displayed correctly. Normally, select "Auto".

YUV Color Matrix

Settings: "Auto" / "BT.601" / "BT.709" / "BT.2020"

Select the YUV format of the input signal. Use this setting for gradation collapse or other occurrences where the screen is displayed incorrectly because of a problem with the input signal.

Input Range

Settings: "Auto" / "Auto 109%" / "Full" / "Limited (109% White)" / "Limited" / "SDI Full"

Depending on the external device, the black and white levels in the video signal output to the monitor may be restricted. If the signal is displayed on the monitor in its restricted form, the blacks will be faint, the whites dull, and contrast will be reduced. The video range displayed on the monitor can be switched to make these signals the actual contrast ratio of the monitor.

"Auto"
The monitor automatically recognizes the range of input signals and displays images appropriately.

If the input signals are the full range, it uses them as "Full."
If the input signals are a limited range, it uses them as "Limited."

"Auto 109%"
The monitor automatically recognizes the range of input signals and displays images appropriately.

If the input signals are the full range, it uses them as "Full."
If the input signals are a limited range, it uses them as "Limited (109% White)."

"Full"
The brightness range of the input signal is displayed as 0 – 255 (10 bits: 0 – 1023).
"Limited (109% White)"
If "Gamma (EOTF)" is from "1.6" to "2.7" then the brightness range of the input signal is displayed as 16 – 254 (10 bits: 64 to 1019). Otherwise, it is displayed as 16 – 235 (10 bits: 64 – 940).
"Limited"
The brightness range of the input signal is displayed as 16 – 235 (10 bits: 64 – 940).
"SDI Full"
The brightness range of the input signal is displayed as 1 – 254 (10 bits: 4 – 1019)

Color

The setting details differ depending on the color mode selected.

When Color Mode is Standard Mode (User / BT.2020 / BT.709 / DCI-P3 / PQ_DCI-P3 / HLG_BT.2100 / Adobe RGB / sRGB / SYNC_SIGNAL)

Each color mode setting can be adjusted according to personal preference.

Attention

The same image may be seen in different colors on multiple monitors due to differences between individual monitors. Make fine color adjustment visually when matching colors on multiple monitors.

Note

If "Color Mode" is "SYNC_SIGNAL," the "Brightness," "Gamma (EOTF)," and "Color Gamut" are automatically set according to the input signal and cannot be changed.
Use the values in "Brightness" and "Temperature" as a guide.

Color Mode

Settings: "User" / "BT.2020" / "BT.709" / "DCI-P3" / "PQ_DCI-P3" / "HLG_BT.2100" / "Adobe RGB" / "sRGB" / "CAL" / "SYNC_SIGNAL"

Select the desired mode according to the monitor application.

Note

For more information on how to switch modes, see Switching the Display Mode (color mode).
For "CAL," see When Color Mode is Advanced Mode (CAL).

Brightness

Settings: "40 cd/㎡" – "450 cd/㎡"

The screen brightness is adjusted by changing the brightness of the backlight (light source from the LCD back panel).
