What is a black screen used for?

A black screen lets you check for backlight bleed and stuck pixels, makes a monitor look switched off, and gives you a dark, distraction-free display. On OLED screens, black pixels are fully off.

How to make your screen black

  1. Click Full screen (or click the color box, or press F).
  2. Your whole screen turns black. The controls and mouse cursor hide after a couple of seconds.
  3. Use ← → to switch colors without leaving full screen.
  4. Press Esc, double-click, or tap Exit to go back.

Tip: turn your display brightness up for a stronger light. While full screen is open, the site asks your device to keep the screen awake.
