LG Electronics has announced a new display technology called DFC (Digital Fine Contrast), increasing their standard contrast ratio of its TFT displays from 700:1 1600:1. The increase in contrast ratio makes colors brighter, images more vivid and text sharper. A high contrast ratio enhances the extreme ends of the color scale so blacks are truly black, and whites are truly white without contamination from grey scales. The ratio also will benefit gamers who struggle to see objects in the shadows, and home cinema enthusiasts will appreciate the correct reproduction of colors.

LG displays with DFC and the enhanced 1600:1 contrast ratio will be available from April commencing with the new 80 Series (L1780Q plus, L1980Q plus), the 70 series (L1770H, L1970H) and 32 Series (L1932P, L1732P).  Read on to learn more about this new DFC engine.

The DFC engine in LG’s new displays is comprised of three units. ACR (Auto Contents Recognition) detects the type of content that you are viewing and decides how to make the best use of the enhanced contrast. This decision is influenced by the monitor’s Mode setting, so in Movie Mode DFC is optimized for a maximum brightness movie/gaming image and is efficient when a moving image has varying levels of brightness. In Text Mode, DFC gives PowerPoint presentations a real lift while in Picture mode DFC can automatically analyze photos and pictures and will optimize picture quality by deepening the color. The second element is DCE (Digital Contrast Enhancer) which reduces black luminance and then the third part, DCM (Digital Contrast Mapper), displays the image while ensuring that the enhanced contrast is optimized.
