White is a bloat colour, it takes more energy for your monitor to display white than any other colour since white is all parts of the LED on.
0/10, you're worse than a ai data center.
Unless it’s an oled, WRONG, there hasn’t ever been SOMEONE as WRONG in the HISTORY OF HUMANITY, you DUMB person, you know what they say, big man, strong man, came up to me, tears down his eyes asking, why is my power so expensive, and I told him, it’s that JERK over THERE who is hogging all the power, and so I ENACTED an executive order to officially start a WAR, military OPERATION in Pakistan to find Obama Bin Laden HUSSEIN and find out why THIS JERK is spending ALL THE ENERGY on his TERRIBLE setup THAT ISN’T EVEN GOLD, like my ballroom, beautiful ballroom, big ballroom, came down tears down its eyes thanking me for making it pretty, and GOLD and SAFE and FIT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME
Edit: I have too much fun writing these
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
Gosh darn it, forgot that one
Too coherent
I know this is funny and I had a laugh but modern led displays have brightness zones and can dim backlighting in dark areas. so a big bright image also uses more power than a dark image on them as well. I know, fun party facts 😅
LOCAL DIMMING IS A RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA TOOL. Only a Dumbocrat would believe such propaganda, the REDUCTION of FOSSIL fuel consumption is NOT PATRIOTIC forcing the FEDERAL government to increase subsidies into FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY that will go BANKRUPT due to the TREASONOUS DEFECTIVE LOCAL DIMMING panels. ONLY SOMEONE SMART like ME, a GENIUS just like EINSTEIN, who has done SEVERAL COGNITIVE ASSESSMENTS where the DOCTORS were VERY IMPRESSED could POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND the consequences of letting LOCAL FACTORIES adopt SUCH CRAP technology. SPEAKING OF UNDERSTANDING I understand that IM NOT ALLOWED TO BANG MY DEAR DAUGHTER IVANKA because I AM her FATHER but if I WASNT, I totally WOULD DO HER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS INCREDIBLY TREMENDOUS COMMUNICATION THAT BLEW your MIND.
Note: I forgot about local dimming, lol
Needs more Random capitAlisatioNs to be a True trump comment
Everyone is saying it
On an LCD screen it’s using less power to not block the light from coming through.
How do I know which one my monitor is?
Is it OLED?
If not it's an LCD.
It used to be that if something was one or two colors, it might be an OLED, like the sansa clip mp3 player.
These days, how do you tell if it is OLED or LCD? Or do you just have to know?
You'd know if your desktop monitor was oled. Especially with how much they cost. Phones not so much since a lot of mid range ones will be OLED.
Easiest method is open a black image. Is the screen 100% off, no light being emitted by it? If there's light it's LCD. If there's no light then it's OLED, or a fancy LCD with dimming zones. Use your (white) cursor to activate the zones and see if you see light squares. If you can't then it's OLED, or mini/micro LED. And once again you'd probably know it's one of the two by the price you paid, or it's a MacBook Pro.
Ahh, thanks! So that's how my phone screen can be so dark, but then have one line of white text on it for the clock. I always thought that was kind of strange. Must be OLED, I guess.
Dude has a fancy led screen
