     ``auto`` is the default and assumes 1000:1 contrast as a typical SDR display
     would have or an infinite contrast when HDR ``--target-trc`` is used.
-    If supported by the API, display contrast will be used as reported.
     ``inf`` contrast specifies display with perfect black level, in practice OLED.
