According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may, responsive to a determination that a secondary display is connected to the apparatus, cause a primary display of the apparatus to display a window including an option to be selected to proceed with a location detection operation of the secondary display. The processor may also cause an icon to be displayed on the secondary display, track a movement of a cursor from the primary display to the icon displayed on the secondary display, and determine a position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display based on the tracked movement of the cursor. The processor may further store the determined position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display.

Secondary display location determinations

Dynamic refresh rate (DRR) switching is used to dynamically update a refresh rate of content presented on an interface. When a first application and a second application are presented on a user interface at a first refresh rate; a request may be received to temporarily boost the first refresh rate to a second, higher, refresh rate. DRR switching is initiated as the first refresh rate is temporarily boosted to a second refresh rate. Applications that are opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at the second refresh rate, while applications that are not opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at a virtualized refresh rate that matches the first refresh rate. Thus, the first application refreshes content at the first refresh rate and the second application refreshes content at the second, higher refresh rate, providing a smooth user experience without unnecessarily utilizing power consumption.

According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may, responsive to a secondary display being detected, cause a window including an option for a user to proceed with a location detection operation of the secondary display to be displayed on a primary display. The processor may also cause an icon to be displayed on the secondary display, track a movement of a cursor from the primary display to the icon displayed on the secondary display, and determine a position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display based on the tracked movement of the cursor. The processor may further store the determined position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display.

Independent refresh rates may be enabled for multiple monitors. Any displays that are presenting content in a full screen mode are refreshed at a rate set by the application presenting the content. All other devices are refreshed at a rate that is determined by a window manager based on various factors including the type of application(s) executing, the size of the applications presenting content, the location of the applications presenting content, hardware configurations, and so forth.

Color correction technology for computing and gaming systems are discussed herein which compensate for color vision deficiency among individuals. In one example, a method includes receiving a video frame having a first non-linear transfer function and processing the video frame to have a linear transfer function. The method also includes applying a color transform to the video frame having the linear transfer function to produce at least altered color appearance parameters on selected colors that increase color perceptibility of the video frame for a colorblindness condition, and processing the video frame after the color transform to have a second non-linear transfer function and produce an output video frame. The method also includes transferring the output video frame for display on a display device.
