Use Intel(R) Display Power Saving Technology (Power Schemes Settings)
Intel(R) Display Power Saving Technology makes it possible to reduce power
consumption when operating with the battery by lowering the display luminance while
maintaining a certain apparent brightness by adjusting the image contrast, color and other
settings. To reduce the power consumption, set [Power Schemes Settings] to the
[Maximum Battery] side by following the procedure below.
A
Select [start] - [Control Panel], and from the [See Also] area select [Other
Control Panel Options].
B
Select [Intel(R) GMA Driver for Mobile] - [Devices].
C
Select [Power Schemes Settings].

Add a check mark for [Intel(R) Display Power Saving Technology] and then set
[Power Schemes Settings] to the [Maximum Battery] side.

Select [OK].
We recommend not adding a check mark for [Intel(R) Display Power Saving Technology]
when fine adjustment of the image or color is necessary, or when performing advanced
image editing using image editing application software.
