Did anyone notice the lightswitch next to the video titles today for earth hour? I did. You click on it and the entire page goes black for earth hour. Imma try it tonight. :)
This observation deserves a thread.
Doesn't this make LCD screens require more power
[QUOTE=Zeke129;28825564]Doesn't this make LCD screens require more power[/QUOTE] As opposed to it being white?
It always makes my eyes hurt when i turn the screen back to white
[QUOTE=deggie;28825572]As opposed to it being white?[/QUOTE] yeah
[QUOTE=Zeke129;28825564]Doesn't this make LCD screens require more power[/QUOTE] no cause they are black when turned off so they must use less power! :downs:
[QUOTE=Zeke129;28825564]Doesn't this make LCD screens require more power[/QUOTE] Unless it somehow controls screen brightness, it makes no power consumption changes.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;28825589]yeah[/QUOTE] Doubt it
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;28825640]Unless it somehow controls screen brightness, it makes no power consumption changes.[/QUOTE] Actually I think it does, as the whole filter layer has to go into the furtherest state. That doesn't really matter compared to the backlight which takes most of the energy, tho.
I'm pretty sure our shitty tn panels still take the same amount of power to light up white or black.
Does this mean this light switch is only temporary?
