Apart from it not saving any energy unless you still use a CRT display, very nice.

Cheers, Slipstreem.



System specs: "Phoenix" - Intel C2D E4500 overclocked to 3GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (modded BIOS rev 3.10A and VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 RAM (3.0,3,3,8,1T @546MHz), Sapphire ATI HD3870 512MB GDDR4 PCIe graphics card overclocked to 850MHz GPU & 2.4GHz RAM. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

It must save the battery life on laptops. If LCD's share anything with LED's then black takes less power.

Isn't the backlight on most lappies still CCFL? The entire background is still illuminated regardless of whether it's black or white.

Cheers, Slipstreem.

TFTs/LCDs use the same amount of power at any color. Plus, it's not as pretty as Google

It's true. If you stand in a darkened room your lcd screen still gives off light even when the screen is black. Compare black screen to turned off and see!

But how can it? Black isn't a colour

EDIT : It's the absence of light.

I am now confused.
