Taskbar Detection
When the system detects the TaskBar displayed on the desktop, it automatically scans its shape and then automatically reduces luminance to prevent burn-in issues.
Multi-logo Detection
When the system detects several static and prominently contrasting logo displayed on the screen, it automatically scans their shape and color, and then proceeds to reduce luminance automatically to prevent burn-in issues.
Pixel Shift
Pixel Shift moves the screen's pixels at regular intervals, ensuring that images are not displayed in the same position, thereby preventing static image retention.
Panel Protect
By doing Pixel Refresh, which is automatically activated if the screen is active for more than 4 hours.
Static Screen Detection
When the system detects that there are static images on the screen for a set period, it will automatically reduce brightness.
No Compromise on Privacy
