Color Temperature - Change the color cast of the entire display between warm (incandescent) and cool (fluorescent) setting. Reducing the color temperature to a warmer tone gives the screen an increasingly reddish cast, while increasing the color temperature to a cooler tone makes the color cast increasingly blue.Vibrance - Change the vibrance setting for a better viewing experience in varied lighting conditions. A more vibrant setting is better suited for dim lighting.Skin Tones - Allows you to refine the skin tone in pictures and video without affecting the other colors on the display.
