Abstract

An information handling system presents visual images at a display through a scalar that adjusts the visual images with a gamma lookup table selected from plural gamma lookup tables based upon a refresh rate of the display. As a graphics processor commands variable refresh rates, a blanking period is used to adjust the refresh rates and a gamma lookup table selection is applied during the blanking period to encourage uniform luminance. Each gamma lookup table is stored in a separate SRAM and input to a multiplexor that uses the refresh rate to select which gamma adjusted visual image is presented at the display.
