Note
 f [BRIGHTNESS  ADJUST] is a function that makes the increased brightness in black level of the overlapping image area difficult to 
notice when [EDGE BLENDING] is used to structure a multi-display screen.  The optimal point of correction is set by adjusting [NON-
OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] so the black level of the overlapping image area will be the same level as the non-overlapping area. If the 
border area of the part where the image is overlapping and the non-overlapping part gets brighter after adjusting [NON-OVERLAPPED 
BLACK LEVEL], adjust the width of the top, bottom, left, or right.  Adjust [BLACK BORDER LEVEL] when the width adjustment makes only 
the border area darker.
 f The 

joining part may look discontinuous depending on the position you are looking from when a screen with high gain or rear screen is used.
 fWhen structuring a multi-display screen using both horizontal and vertical edge blending, adjust [OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] first before 
making adjustments in Step  12)

. Adjustment method is same as the procedure of [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL].
 fIf only horizontal or vertical edge blending is used, set all items in [OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] to 0. fThe [AUT

O TESTPATTERN] setting will change in conjunction with the setting in the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu  → [COLOR MATCHING] →

 f Adjustment of the tilt of the border between [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] and [BLACK BORDER LEVEL] is a function to perform 
edge blending together with the adjustment of [GEOMETR

Y] (x   page   91). Perform the edge blending adjustment matching the shape in 
[NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] following Steps  17) and 18) when [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] is tilted due to correcting the
