You'll notice that there is a difference between a nominally black screen and a switched-off screen. The difference is the backlight shining through the LCDs which don't block the light from the backlight absolutely even when switched to "black". Not sure whether "backlight" is the right expression. It is the light source for the LCD, anyway. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
