Ask HN: Do OLED displays only save energy with absolute black?

1 points by fortnum 3 years ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


It was always my understanding that OLED displays use less energy the darker the screen is. However I now came across some information that this is actually only true for absolute black (#000000).

Is that correct? Does #010101 use the same energy as #FFFFFF or do darker shades still use less energy?
