Provided is a method of automatically setting image quality, which
maintains a brightness and a contrast of an image regardless of a status
of an input signal. The method includes: (a) setting a variable range of
brightness and a variable range of contrast; (b) converting a brightness
signal included in an input video signal into a digital signal and
recording the digital brightness signal in a plurality of registers
according to brightness level; (c) changing a brightness value or a
contrast value of an output video signal by comparing values of a first
register, second register, third register, and fourth register among the
registers to predetermined values; and (d) if the changed brightness
value is in the variable range of the brightness and the contrast value
is in the variable range of the contrast, determining that the
compensation of image quality is complete, and returning to step (b).
