1. An information handling system comprising:
- a processor operable to execute instructions to generate visual information;
a memory operable to store the instructions and visual information;
a graphics processor interfaced with the processor and memory, the graphics processor operable to generate pixel values from the visual information and to communicate the pixel values to a display to present a visual image defined by the visual information;
a display interfaced with the graphics processor, the display having plural pixels, each pixel adapted by application of current at a drive voltage to control illumination of color, the color defined by the pixel value;
a display controller integrated with the display and interfaced with the graphics controller, the display controller operable to selectively apply current at one or more overdrive voltages, the overdrive voltage defining a transition time of a pixel from illumination of a first color to illumination of a second color;
an overdrive manager interfaced with the display controller and operable to configure the overdrive voltage based upon an end user overdrive setting and at least one external factor detected by a sensor interfaced with the overdrive manager; and
a network interface card operable to establish communication with a network external to the information handling system;
wherein the external factor comprises available bandwidth detected by the network interface card.

Abstract
A display presents information with pixels driven at overdrive voltages set based upon a user configuration and sensed environmental conditions. Varied overdrive voltages provide adaptable display responses with proportional power consumption so that power consumption is reduced where visual images of a display content have reduced need for rapid display response. For example, reduced bandwidth availability that impacts display resolution allows reduced overdrive voltages that scale to visual content resolution.
