1. A method for controlling a display device, comprising:
- receiving a source video signal from a video source;
storing video pixels in one or more line buffers;
enhancing the video signal on the fly using data stored in the line buffers;
if image enhancement is not necessary, rendering the source video signal and otherwise rendering the enhanced video signal.

20. A liquid crystal display (LCD) controller, comprising:
-
a buffer to receive image data, the buffer having a fullness measure;
a buffer controller coupled to the buffer to snoop the fullness of the buffer, compare the fullness to an LCD horizontal sync (HSYNC) signal, and adjust the HSYNC period to avoid buffer overflow or underflow; and
a circuit coupled to the controller to minimize noise and to sharpen the image data.
