Abstract
An analyzer of a display control apparatus analyzes image characteristics of an image that has been pixel-converted by a pixel converter. A number-of-pixels determining unit compares the analysis result obtained by the analyzer with predetermined deterioration determination thresholds and determines the number of display pixels that is optimal for content. A pixel converter converts the number of pixels of the content into the determined optimal number of display pixels.
