Abstract
A display system and a method of displaying an image are hereby presented. The display system is arranged to display an image on a screen which has at least one useful screen area which is intended to be seen by a user and at least one non-useful screen area which the user cannot see. The display device comprises a bandwidth saver unit arranged to determine a location on the screen of a current pixel to be displayed. If the pixel is located in a non-useful screen area of the screen, then the fetching from a data memory of a pixel value is inhibited by the bandwidth saver unit with respect to this pixel, and a replacement, fixed pixel value is passed to a data processing unit for further processing.
