In reference to the previous question about all white LCD and power consumption, due to the way LCD's work, the device actually uses less power showing all white than all black. Think about it, the backlight produces a white light, the liquid crystals are then charged with electricity to block out a certain wavelength thus producing a red green or blue shade. with no charge running to all the pixels of the lcd, it uses less energy than going at full tilt to block out ALL the light from the backlight. Plasma screens work on the opposite principle. they use the most electricity showing all white.
