Using the NVIDIA Optimus Graphics feature Some ThinkPad notebook computers support the NVIDIA Optimus Graphics feature. To achieve the best balance between the computer performance and a long battery life, depending on the graphics quality demand of the running application and the settings of the power plan you use, the NVIDIA Optimus Graphics feature automatically switches between High Performance Graphics and Energy Saving Graphics, with no need to restart your computer, close applications, or intervene manually. Note: The NVIDIA Optimus Graphics feature is only supported on the Windows 7 operating system. Using the color sensor Some models are equipped with a color sensor. The color sensor enables you to measure and adjust the color accuracy of your displays. To use the color sensor, click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ X-Rite ➙ Color Calibrator ➙ PANTONE Color Calibrator. If your computer comes with a color sensor, the display provides a color profile that can work with the Microsoft Image Color Management (ICM) function. If the graphics software you are using is compatible with ICM, you can display a color image on your monitor and match it with the same quality one on another device, such as a scanner or a printer.
