    Hi guys just got my NP8690 and cant seem to find out how to set the screen to performance mode. Or even if there is one :S

    The only reason I asked was because I saw a post by Justin Xotic and he said that when he first turned the NP8690 on and changed the screen to performance mode he was blown away.

    Any help on this would be appreciated Thanks.

    You should be posting your 8690 questions in the Owner's Lounge.

    think he might have meant the battery high performance which gives you all high settings. not sure if the default is set to balanced.

    I had no idea about this either. I'll be doing a little research myself.
