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 LCD brightness by adjusting the image contrast, color and
other settings. In some cases, however, the images on the display may become
momentarily distorted, use the setting in accordance with computer usage conditions.
We recommend removing the checkmark from [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.
