Abstract

An image processor includes: an receiving module configured to receive a video signal of a content; an image quality adjusting module configured to adjust image quality of the video signal received by the receiving module using image quality adjustment parameters including at least a contrast-related parameter; a 3D video detecting module configured to determine whether the video signal is of a 3D content; and a control module configured to control the image quality adjusting module to adjust the image quality of the video signal using the contrast-related parameter being set to a second parameter setting for enhancing contrast more than at a first parameter setting, when the video signal is determined to be the 3D content by the 3D video detecting module while the image quality adjusting module is adjusting the image quality using the contrast-related parameter being set at the first parameter setting.
