Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for providing an enhanced display of video content. In an embodiment, analysis of one or more frames of audio-video (AV) information is performed to identify first video data as representing smooth image content, where second video data represents edge image content. Based on the identifying of the first video data, enhancement processing is performed to selectively apply a noise component to the first video data. Of the first video data and the second video data, the enhancement processing modifies only the first video data. In another embodiment, a refresh rate for displaying a sub-portion of a magnified image is selectively set based on the first video data being identified as representing smooth image content. Enhancement with selective noise and/or refresh rate variation improves perceived resolution of smooth image content, as seen by a viewer of the resulting image.
