ABSTRACT:
A method to manage the power consumption of a display unit is provided. The method determines if a graphics-intensive event is occurring, uses a first refresh rate if the graphics-intensive event is occurring, and uses a second refresh rate different than the first refresh rate if the graphics-intensive event is not occurring. An apparatus for performing the method, and an article including a machine-accessible medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a processor, will cause the processor to perform the method are also provided.
