Abstract: A display apparatus for displaying images based on signals received from a host. The apparatus includes a determining means for determining an interface type of the host, a plurality of storage means each storing specification information relating to display for one of interface types to be connected, and an output means for outputting, from one of the storage means to the host, the specification information corresponding to the interface type determined by the determining means.

Abstract: A combination includes a liquid crystal module having a liquid crystal panel forming a front surface, an opposing back surface, and a backlight structured and arranged to transmit light between the front and back surfaces. A light sensor located behind the back surface detects light transmitted from the backlight through the back surface. The light sensor detects a quantity of light when the backlight is lit at a maximum luminance, and outputs a signal indicative of the quantity of light. A luminance setting means sets a desired luminance by a user as a function of a desired percentage of the maximum lumination of the backlight. A control means controls the luminance of the backlight using the signal as a reference so that the luminance set by the luminance setting means is achieved.
