What people use it for

Sleep & Ambient

A full black screen gives you a dark room without glare. Popular for night rooms, meditation, and focus sessions.

OLED & Battery

On OLED screens black pixels are switched off, so a black screen uses less power.

Gamers & Creators

Check uniformity, ghosting, and banding before competitive gaming or editing.

Photo & Video Backdrops

Use a solid black or white screen as a clean backdrop or light source.

How to Test for Dead Pixels

  1. 1

    Click Go Fullscreen on a black screen.

  2. 2

    Let your eyes adjust for 5 seconds.

  3. 3

    Scan the whole screen slowly and note any bright dots (stuck or hot pixels).

  4. 4

    Switch to white and look for dark dots (dead pixels).

  5. 5

    Repeat with red, green, and blue.

  6. Found one? Try the Stuck Pixel Fixer and check your warranty. Do not press on the screen, it can cause damage.

Dead pixel

No power reaches the pixel, so it stays dark. Easiest to see on a white screen. Usually permanent.

Stuck pixel

The pixel stays lit in one color (red, green, blue, or white). Easiest to see on a black screen. Sometimes fixable.

Frequently asked questions

What is a black screen used for?

People use a black screen to sleep in a dark room, save battery on OLED phones, hide their desktop during a presentation, as a backdrop for photos and video, and to check a monitor for stuck pixels and backlight bleed.

Is it free to use?

Yes, 100% free. No sign-up, no download, no limits.

Does it work on phones and TVs?

Yes, on any device with a modern browser. iPhone Safari has no fullscreen mode, so the page uses a full-viewport view instead.

Will a black screen damage my monitor?

No. A black screen is a normal image. On OLED screens the black pixels are switched off, which also uses less power.

Does a black screen save battery?

On OLED and AMOLED displays, black pixels are switched off, so a black screen uses less power. On LCD screens the backlight stays on, so the savings are minimal.

How do I stop my screen from turning off?

Turn on Keep Screen Awake. It uses your browser's Wake Lock feature, which is not supported in every browser.

Is it safe to leave a bright or colored screen on for hours?

A static bright image shown for many hours can cause temporary image retention on some OLED screens. Use the auto-exit timer and take breaks.

How many dead pixels are acceptable on a new monitor?

Policies vary by brand and model, so check your warranty terms. Some manufacturers allow a small number, others replace a screen for a single dead pixel.
