Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for automatically controlling a dynamic backlight control (DBC) of a display, the method comprising: determining whether an image to be displayed on the display comprises a still image and not a video image, based on a file extension or a file header for an image file of the image; determining, in response to determining that the image is a still image, whether the still image comprises a high-resolution still image; in response to determining that the still image comprises a high-resolution still image, disabling the DBC, wherein a backlight of the display is turned on and kept at approximately a constant brightness when the DBC is disabled; and in response to determining that the image is not a still image or that the still image does not comprise a high-resolution still image, enabling the DBC, wherein the backlight of the display is turned on while the DBC dynamically adjusts a turned-on brightness of the backlight of the display based on content of the image when the DBC is enabled.
