    Hi guys,
    has anyone tried to run QHD+ screen (3200x1800) at 1600x900? Was there any major improvement in battery life? Have you tried to measure the battery consumption in some sw tools like Hwinfo64 or Battery bar?
    I have read that it helped quite a lot in case of Lenovo yoga 2 pro (+2,5 hours) but many people said there is no major improvement with other laptops.

    The pixels still have to be driven so I doubt there would be any change.
