       gah, why can't parts of the screen designated as black pixels just but emit light? :not_like_this:

       @OctaviaConAmore@cutie.city OLED and microLED do that, IPS is the worst with backlight bleed ​:neofox_googly_shocked:​

       @natty the screen I'm having photosensitivity issues with is my reading tablet, a Galaxy Tab A8, which seems to have a TFT LCD screen which... is supposed to be able to do true black, I think? maybe? :stitch_confused: :neofox_confused:

       @OctaviaConAmore@cutie.city @natty@astolfo.social as a owner of the same tablet, i never saw true black from the screen. it seems like it can't do true black. :(

       @thing @natty @OctaviaConAmore yeah you need a screen with individually addressable lighting pixels (or at least small chunks of pixels) for that; for large PC monitors or TVs this can be LCD with zoned LED backlight (as giving don't of the benefits of OLED screen at more reasonable price tag), but on portable electronics I think that's only OLED (or regular LED) screens, not LCD (because a liquid crystal cannot filter out 100% of the light).
