    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.

    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 πŸ˜…

    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

    For all the fucking shit

    That he is putting us through

    When all is said and done

    He better burn hot in hell too

    This is what we got now

    What are we to do

    About the conman and all of his crew

    A sexual sadist, you just know it

    And those people are the vilest to exist

    racist, sexist, convicted felon rapist

    And who can even tell all the crimes that were missed

    Of all the shit that's redacted on the list

    I'm pissed, fucker running the government like a business

    Goodness, jesus, I sure can see

    How he drove them into bankruptcy

    Please dear lord end his presidency

    A bullet or a stroke

    Will do the job just as nicely

    Crazy, letting this shady

    Motherucker phase me

    Maybe

    It's time for another round

    to hit this childish baby

    If you line em up

    You can getem both with one shot

    That fat damn prick and his old lady

    Time is coming, heart keeps throbbing

    Syphilis aching, cholesterol spiking

    God ain't listening to take a hit on the slob

    Please, hamburgers, do your god damned job

    ...

    I have written too many lyrics about the piece of shit I hope it ends soon

    If you end lines with two spaces
    And a single line feed

    Instead of two line feeds
    You can make stanzas
    And improve readability

    For everyone

    On an LCD screen it’s using less power to not block the light from coming through.

    [–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    How do I know which one my monitor is?

    [–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Is it OLED?

    If not it's an LCD.

    [–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    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?

    [–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

    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
