This shortcut shows you which areas in your image are blowing out to complete white or black as you make tonal adjustments to the highlights and shadows of your image. In versions before Photoshop 6, this feature works only when you have Video LUT Animation turned on in your Display & Cursors Preferences, and when the Preview check box is turned off in the Levels dialog box. Also, an additional note for Windows users: This feature works only if your video card supports Video LUT Animation.
