Refresh rate and color quality
Posted: Sat Jun 03, 2006 5:34 am
I am using 50 Hz and 32 bit. Is this the optimal for a X60?
But I left the 60 since it's bigger than 50 and figure that it is better...

I found that you can change to 60 Hz and did change it. However, I can't tell the difference

I'm not sure how much this matters, but part of the power profile is reducing the refresh rate. This implies that a higher refresh rate uses more power -- how much, I don't know. But since I can't tell the difference between 50 and 60hz, I leave it on 50. Maybe I'd notice the difference if I was doing video stuff.
The other thing to realize is that many lcd screens are only 18 bit, so the overhead of true-color is mostly wasted. Not sure how much power/memory savings you'd get with using only 16 bit, but it's something to think about.
On that note, does anyone know what technolody the non-UL x60s screen uses? Is it able to display true 24 bit color?
