Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that identifies a parameter of an internal display, populates a lookup table with the parameter and alternative configuration data if the parameter is related to power consumption, detects a trigger condition during operation of the computing system, and reconfigures the internal display from a first state to a second state in response to the trigger condition based on the lookup table and the alternative configuration data, wherein the internal display and/or a system on chip (SoC) associated with the internal display consumes a reduced amount of power in the second state relative to the first state.
