Question about contrast

Hello.

Could anyone explain what's the difference between the contrast that is advertised for monitor to have and contrast that you can adjust in OSD settings?

If a monitor is advertised to have a contrast ratio of 1000:1, does that mean by adjusting the contrast to 70% in OSD you're using only 700:1 ?

Contrast setting doesn't adjust the contrast ratio, generally it adjusts the gamma curve to weight shades away from the center (making dark shades darker and light shades lighter).
