- artmageddon 14y agoI remember these findings being refuted, and I thought it was because it took the same amount of power for an LCD screen to show a black pixel instead of a white pixel. I will say, given these findings from OP, I hope these types of displays become more common.
- keenerd 14y agoIt takes more energy for an LCD to show a black pixel. It is not much compared to the backlight, though. On one of my laptops solid black uses 0.5 watts more than solid white.
