Why I switched from White to Black Background

Recently I came across a blog entitled "Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year". After doing bit more research on the net, I felt that black screen is definitely more advantageous. It;
  • is environment friendly as it consumes less energy - 59 watts as compared to 74 watts.
  • increases the monitor life hence reduces electronic waste.
  • causes lesser strain on the eyes.
  • has better visibility especially in the dark.
  • makes the pictures, especially coloured pictures, stand out.

    Hello CuriousJM,
    I follow your posts regularly which make an interesting read. I liked the switch-over to black background. It looks sleek and appealing to the eye. Didn't realise that backgrounds could affect power consumption!! I am all for green earth and so my vote is for it. Great job!!!
