wherein the control value selection unit selects a second speed response control value as the response control value used to cause the gain to respond to the input video signal at the second speed when the current value between the frames decreases and the decrease amount of the current value is less than the first threshold value,

wherein the control value selection unit select a third speed response control value as the response control value used to cause the gain to respond to the input video signal at a third speed when the current value between the frames increases and the increase amount of the current value is greater than a second threshold value, and

wherein the control value selection unit selects a fourth speed response control value as the response control value used to cause the gain to respond to the input video signal at a fourth speed when the current value between the frames increases and the increase amount of the current value is less than the second threshold value.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the control value selection unit:

selects a first speed response control value used to cause the gain to respond to the input video signal at the first speed when a telop does not appear or disappear, and

selects a second speed response control value used to cause the gain to respond to the input video signal at the second speed when the telop appears or disappears,

wherein, based on the response control value, the temporal direction control unit adjusts the speed at which the gain is caused to respond to the input video signal.
