"For example, general laptop use cases such as web browsing or document editing can operate at lower voltage levels. In contrast, high-definition content such as games or video playback requires higher brightness and voltage. Traditional HDR modes remain locked at maximum brightness, resulting in excessive power usage even in standard scenarios. As a result, many laptops default to SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) mode despite the color and brightness advantages of HDR."
"In comparison, SmartPower HDR™ reduces the power consumption associated with OLED pixel emission by up to 22% in general usage and by up to 17% during HDR content. Notably, in general usage scenarios, power consumption is comparable to that of SDR mode."
General laptop tasks such as web browsing and document editing can operate at lower display voltage. High-definition content like games or video playback requires higher brightness and higher voltage. Traditional HDR modes remain locked at maximum brightness, causing excessive power usage in many typical scenarios. Many laptops therefore default to SDR mode despite HDR's color and brightness advantages. SmartPower HDR™ lowers OLED pixel-emission power consumption by up to 22% in general usage and up to 17% during HDR content. That preserves HDR visuals while reducing battery drain and matches SDR power in common usage.
