This user friendly interface allows you to select various modes like Office, Image, Entertainment, Economy etc., to fit the application in use.

The Economy mode option offers you major power savings. All in real time with the press of a single button!

Fast response time for great display of moving images

Response time measures signal reaction speed in milliseconds. On/off response time measures the time required for the screen to turn from completely white to completely black and vice versa. Fast on/off response time improves display of text. Gray-to-grey response time measures the average time of transition between several sets of random gray levels - Lower numbers mean faster transitions. Faster is better because a fast response time eliminates visible image artifacts that could dampen your experience when viewing fast moving images or objects.
