An example computing device comprises a processor to be coupled to a display device, and a boot controller coupled to the processor and to be coupled to the display device. The boot controller is configured to detect a power signal, receive sensor data detected by one or more sensors prior to an operating system being loaded by a boot process of the processor, determine a posture associated with the display device based on the sensor data detected by the one or more sensors, and communicate, to the display device, posture information indicating the posture associated with the display device. Pre-boot content is to be displayed on a display panel of the display device in a first arrangement based on the posture information. In more specific embodiments, determining the posture includes determining at least an orientation of the display device and whether a peripheral is present on the display device.

Methods and systems for dynamically adjusting the power consumption of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel are disclosed. In embodiments, a histogram of a frame to be displayed is generated, and a weighted dimming curve is generated, with heavier weighting given to mid-tone intensity pixels. High and low intensity pixels are left only minimally adjusted. The curve is then capped and smoothed to prevent artifacts and to preserve image contrast. Each pixel in the frame is then dimmed according to the curve, and the resultant transformed frame is displayed on the OLED panel.

Dynamic power adjustment for OLED panels

Computers for supporting multiple virtual reality (VR) display devices and related methods are described herein. An example computer includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) to render frames for a first VR display device and a second VR display device, a memory to store frames rendered by the GPU for the first VR display device and the second VR display device, and a vertical synchronization (VSYNC) scheduler to transmit alternating first and second VSYNC signals to the GPU such that a time period between each of the first or second VSYNC signals and a subsequent one of the first or second VSYNC signals is substantially the same. The GPU is to, based on the first and second VSYNC signals, alternate between rendering a frame for the first VR display device and a frame for the second VR display device.

In an embodiment, an apparatus includes an input/output (I/O) buffer to couple a logic unit to another device coupled via a pad, and a logic coupled to the I/O buffer to detect a value on the pad and to control the I/O buffer to provide the value to the pad, responsive to entry into an architectural state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Autonomously controlling a buffer of a processor

Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including a selector. A selection signal may be provided to the selector to select a first synchronization signal as a control signal when the first synchronization signal is available, otherwise a second first synchronization signal as the control signal. The first or the second synchronization signal may synchronize a first or second display content received by a first or second display device with a first or a second display refresh rate, respectively. The control signal may be provided to a controller to control the second display content received by the second display device. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.
