Comment on Using dark mode might be more energy-intensive if the screen is an LCD.

I thought that with OLED screens, and a dark mode that supports it, black pixels are actually not backlit, meaning they use less energy. Is that not right?

Right, OP refers to LCD, which is the older tech that works by selective occlusion.

Ah. Thanks for pointing that out, @Septimaeus@infosec.pub. I was considering an OLED screen to be a modern LCD screen.
