With a golden blush outside the living room windows, the dimmer, contrasting hues of the interior and the leanly upholstered furniture, Ms. Rubinstein, Mr. Yeargan and their lighting designer, Pat Collins, have given the play a Chekhovian melancholy that feels very right but doesn't detract from its many laughs.
ACE PRO, which features Sony's own algorithm for local dimming, improves contrast and dynamic range by controlling the LED backlight level by area so that detail is maintained in the dark areas, while other areas are driven near peak brightness.
Philosopher Daniel Dennett, for example, delights in labeling religious people "dims" in contrast to atheist "brights".
Initially, bats collided less often in the dark than the light, but this behaviour reversed around August 22nd, where bats collided most often in the dark for the remainder of the month (date x (dim-dark contrast): Wald χ2 = 17.65, 1 d.f., p<0.0001, date x (bright-dark contrast): Wald χ2 = 39.61, 1 d.f., p<0.0001; Figure 3, Table 2).
(He likes dim corridors to contrast against a burst of light in guest rooms).
If you sat at your desk to use the computer, maybe the overhead light would dim, increasing the contrast so you could see better.
Rather than offering disabled athletes their very own arena in which to shine, the Paralympics seem set on a dimmer switch in contrast to the brightness of the Olympic torch.
Theoretically, our algorithm can be applicable to most kinds of video shots, except those containing dim or low-contrast scenarios, which make our depth cue estimation ineffective.
Also 3D ready (with the addition of Sony active shutter glasses and sync transmitter, sold separately), the BRAVIA KDL-HX800 series features full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) and utilizes a Dynamic edge LED backlight with local dimming for improved contrast and dynamic range.
At dimmer illuminations, the contrast sensitivity function (e.g., Figure 7) moves lower and to the left, which will alter the predicted thresholds.
