Overview
- The companies announced and demonstrated the technology at CES 2026, citing up to 22% lower power in general use and up to 17% during HDR content.
- The laptop’s processor reports per-frame peak brightness to the panel’s timing controller, which uses on‑pixel ratio to set the optimal driving voltage.
- Samsung says HDR power use in everyday tasks can be comparable to SDR, tackling a major battery drain since displays can account for over half of a laptop’s power.
- Specific laptops and launch timing remain unconfirmed, though some reports expect initial support in Intel Core Ultra Series 3 models.
- An Intel demo suggested about a 20% panel power reduction that was estimated to add roughly 30–40 minutes of battery life, pending independent verification.
