System and method for overdrive setting control on a liquid crystal display

A monitor includes a timing controller coupled to a liquid crystal display panel. A scaler unit receives a change event notification associated with a change to a new overdrive setting of the liquid crystal display panel, and determines a set of lookup table values associated with the change to the new overdrive setting of the liquid crystal display panel. The scaler unit determines a size of data to be transmitted based on the set of lookup table values, and divides the data to be transmitted into data portions based on factors that include the size of the data to be transmitted, speed of an inter-integrated circuit bus, or length of a vertical blank period. The scaler unit then transmits one of the data portions during the vertical blank period via the inter-integrated circuit bus.
