Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: detecting, on a display panel, a luminance level of ambient light, the display panel being illuminated by a plurality of light sources and each individual light source in the plurality of light sources being individually settable to an individual light output level; determining whether the luminance level of the ambient light is above a maximum ambient luminance threshold; wherein if the luminance level of the ambient light is above the maximum ambient luminance threshold, the display panel is to operate with an intrinsic black level; wherein the intrinsic black level being independent of the luminance level of the ambient light; and in response to determining that the luminance level of the ambient light is not above the maximum luminance threshold, operating, by the display panel, with an ambient black level calculated based on the luminance level of the ambient light as an input variable; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
