ough optimal Gamma correction plus saturation, brightness and contrast adjustments. Movie mode makes t\
he most of high-definition movie soundtracks by using SRS WOW technology.

 of this is achieved via specific Gamma corrections and saturation adjustments. Precise audio can be heard, than\
ks to BBE performance.
