1. A display device comprising:
a memory comprising one or more executable instructions; and
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry, the at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, configured to:
monitor a use state of the display device, wherein the use state is monitored using a first individual usage indicator and a universal usage indicator based on a current viewing mode corresponding to a first viewing mode among a plurality of viewing modes of the display device, and the use state is monitored using a second individual usage indicator, different from the first individual usage indicator, and the universal usage indicator based on the current viewing mode corresponding to a second viewing mode among the plurality of viewing modes,
identify a current power saving level among a plurality of power saving levels of a phased power saving mode of the display device,
determine a next power saving level based on the use state and the current power saving level, and
apply the next power saving level to the display device,
wherein the first individual usage indicator is configured for the first viewing mode and uses a signal of a first remote controller detected by the display device and configured to control the display device, the second individual usage indicator is configured for the second viewing mode and uses a signal of a second remote controller detected by the display device and configured to control an external multimedia device configured to provide multimedia content to the display device, the first remote controller is used in the first viewing mode, and the second remote controller is used in the second viewing mode.
