Digital Fine Contrast
open-in-new
<p>Digital Fine Contrast is a <a href="/facts/Contrast_(vision)/zD9F91Je">contrast</a>-enhancing display technology introduced in 2006 by <a href="/facts/LG_Display/qwYuKGc7">LG Display</a>. It is used in the company's "Flatron" line of <a href="/facts/TFT_LCD/4Y8CbuLX">TFT</a> monitors and implements a 'smart function' whereby it dynamically detects the characteristics of each frame to be displayed and automatically adjusts its contrast to obtain a sharper and more vivid image. The system comprises three units: ACR (Auto Contents Recognition), DCE (Digital Contrast Enhancer) and DCM (Digital Contrast Mapper). </p><p>The initial announcement claimed monitors with DFC could achieve a contrast ratio of 1600:1, while later products have been presented as capable of ratios even as high as 2,000,000:1, and there are SAMSUNG LCD TV sets that claim 500,000:1 with LCD monitors claiming 5,000,000:1. </p>
