Why Use a Full Black Screen?
Sometimes, less is more. A completely black screen (#000000) is one of the most useful utilities for display diagnostics and digital wellbeing.
1. Test for Backlight Bleed
LCD and IPS monitors have a backlight that illuminates the screen. By turning the screen pure black in a dark room, you can easily spot "light leakage" or uneven brightness around the edges of the bezel. This is critical for assessing monitor quality.
2. Save Battery on OLED Devices
On OLED and AMOLED displays (common in modern smartphones and high-end laptops), displaying the color black actually turns the pixel off. Using a full black screen can significantly reduce power consumption compared to displaying a white or colored background.
3. Reduce Eye Strain & Focus
Bright white screens can be harsh on the eyes, especially at night. A black background emits the least amount of blue light, giving your eyes a rest. It also serves as a distraction-free background for multi-monitor setups when you want to focus on just one screen.
