But the difference is nothing compared to the accompanying computer tower.*

Not necessarily, if the LCD has local dimming depending on the dimming zone size it could be more energy efficient in dark mode.
Yeah I’m not doing it for the energy savings I’m doing it for personal comfort.
If I was really concerned about energy use at that scale I would simply not use a computer.
I use dark mode to save my eyes, not energy.
Interestingly though I haven’t had OLED display on any of my devices since 2015.
Do you mean LCD?
No, OLED. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the device in question.
This does not make sense, explain.
LCDs work by using energy to block the backlight strategically. OLEDs work by only lighting up what you’re likely to be able to see in the first place, no backlight.
That’s why I don’t use LCD if I can help it nowadays
It almost certainly is slightly more energy intensive, that’s just how LCDs work. I wasn’t under the impression that was why many people prefer dark mode.
idc I can’t read anything in light mode
I just think it’s funny that, way back in the DOS days, dark mode was the only mode, then GUIs and the web were the “modern” thing, and if you didn’t like, fuck you too bad… Now we’ve gone full circle.
