1. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to perform operations comprising:
receiving an accumulated energy indication comprising a value of an amount of energy accumulated in circuitry of an electronic display of the electronic device over time;
determining, via a first control system, a brightness indication based on the accumulated energy indication;
determining, via a second control system, that the brightness indication is compatible with a specification of the electronic display; and
sending, via the second control system, the brightness indication to image processing circuitry based on the brightness indication being compatible with the specification, wherein the image processing circuitry is configured to apply an adjustment based on the brightness indication to image data over at least two sequential image frames before sending for presentation.
