  • METHOD OF ADJUSTING AN ACOUSTIC OUTPUT FROM A DISPLAY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20110235840
    Abstract: A display device arranged generates a visual and an acoustic output according to an input signal (AVS) with audio (AS) and video (VS) content. The display device includes a cabinet (C) with different mounting fittings (MS, MW) arranged for different types of mounting of the display device. A display (FPD), an acoustic system including one or more loudspeakers (L), a mounting detector (SW), e.g. a microswitch, arranged to detect a type of mounting of the display device, and compensation means (AF) arranged to modify the acoustic output from the display device according to the detected type of mounting of the display device. Hereby, it is possible to adjust the frequency content of the acoustic output from the acoustic system, e.g. electronically, to correspond to the acoustic environment determined by means of sensing the type of mounting of the display device. E.g.
