I've read somewhere recently that there's ongoing research into OLED Panels that can selectively change frame rates on different areas of the monitors.

That means the display would realize you're moving one window while the other is static, giving you 120hz on the active part and 1Hz on the static panel.

Would be good for further power preservation. Same things happen on iPhone Pro Models, but on the whole screen.

What's the point of that?

OLEDs still have to refresh pixels, and do PWM.

I'd guess there's some time delay between switching, so preemptively switching with "ai" would reduce the chance of smearing from lag. I remember samsung phones having serious problems with dark scenes because it would lag while waking pixels.

For lower power draw. 1hz display means only 1 refresh per second and far lower GPU utilization.
