Given that screens are always adding their own light, it’s impossible for a screen to ever be equally bright as a piece of paper next to it. The screen will always be brighter.
- hollerith 2y agoNo because some surfaces reflect more of the light than other sufaces.
- scarab92 2y agoThat depends entirely on ambient light levels. All screens are brighter than white paper under moon light, almost none are brighter than white paper under midday sun.

- tshaddox 2y agoDo what now? An entirely black OLED screen is certainly going to reflect less of the room’s light than a sheet of white paper. An OLED screen displaying white at 10% of its maximum brightness is also likely going to be less bright than a sheet of white paper in most rooms.
