The brighter the pixels are, the more power they are using. A pixel uses 0 power at 0 brightness, and it goes up from there.

Well, with LCD it does not matter. It always uses the same power. Hence the question.

So you are confirming that the statement is actually wrong. The darker a pixel on OLED, the less power it uses. Right?
