We proposed that the gamma of a display should be taken into account i
n addition to chromaticity change, contrast, and reversal halftone ima
ge in order to define the maximum viewing angle(1>). In this study, it
was examined that preference of the gamma from the point of view of p
icture quality. Subjective evaluation of picture quality was performed
for examining how the change of gamma effected the quality of picture
s on a display. It was found that a little change in gamma remarkably
influenced the picture quality. An acceptable allowance of gamma was a
lso measured.
