A gamma correction circuit capable of faithfully monitoring and outputting the color and luminance of an object without deteriorating the resolution. The gamma circuit includes an output-picture luminance signal generator for converting supplied color picture signals into luminance signals and for gamma-correcting the luminance signals for generating output-picture luminance signals, a low-pass filter for transmitting low-frequency components of the supplied picture signals, a luminance correction signal generator for generating a luminance correction signal by subtraction between a signal obtained on gamma-correcting picture signals supplied from the low-pass filter and converting the gamma-corrected picture signals into luminance signals and a signal obtained on converting the picture signals into luminance signals and gamma-correcting the luminance signals, an output-picture luminance signal correction unit for correcting the output-picture luminance signal based upon the output-picture luminance signal and the luminance correction signal, and a color difference matrix circuit for effecting chroma-conversion of the gamma-corrected picture signals supplied from the low-pass filter.
