Shows the current display mode.  This is the mode that your gamma adjustments will affect.  For example, if the mode shown is "16 bit color," then any gamma adjustments you make will affect all 16 bit color modes.  If the mode shown contains resolution and color depth (e.g. "1024 x 768 x 16"), then the gamma adjustments you make will be specifically for that resolution and color depth.


Shows color curves or a calibration picture to help you adjust the display gamma.  Use the dropdown list below to choose the type of picture to display here.


Shows a list of the calibration pictures you can display.  Color curves shows the curves corresponding to the gamma adjustments, where the horizontal axis marks the range of desired color values, and the vertical axis shows the actual value to output.
