Understanding Brightness and Contrast
Brightness controls the light intensity of your display or indicator lights, while contrast determines the difference between the darkest and lightest parts of the display. Proper settings can reduce eye strain and improve visibility during power events.

Recommended Brightness Settings
For most environments, setting the brightness to a moderate level is ideal. Typically, a setting around 50% provides good visibility without excessive glare. Adjust based on ambient lighting conditions:
- Low-light rooms: 30-40%

Recommended Contrast Settings
Contrast should be set to enhance readability without causing strain. A common starting point is around 50%. Increase or decrease based on personal preference and display quality:
