Yea, the Oled screen are just the small displays. The led in them blink very fast. You can always tell this by moving the screen fast in the air and see the effect. But I think that touchscreen is just a regular Led panel with a digitizer over it.

I'm a Prime member as well. Love being able to order something like a pack of glass bottles for $5 and getting them in 2 days with no shipping charge. Well, also like their video streaming and cloud storage for my music. Still, for batteries, I use Illum or IMR. But go with whatever you're comfortable with.
Eskie, i don't mean to keep going off topic, but you know your shizz. Would you say lowering the screen contrast on certain mods preserves battery life? or would it be such a small increase that i'ts not even noticable and i should just keep the contrast brightness all the way to 100 % ?
sorry to take the question. Lol, but if your screen stays on it will add up. If you just use it a little then it wouldn't make a big difference. Lets say the screen is on for like 15minutes a day then yes it will save more. If it's only like 2 or 3 then not that much.
RTDVapor sells just batteries. I only buy Sony VTC 4's and 5's from them, all ORIGINALS. They also carry AW bats for your mech mods and bottom feeders. Good luck!
Well i keep my screen cutoff at 15 seconds, so it shuts off after that, as opposed to being able to keep it on 60 seconds after taking a vape. I was more wondering about the contrast being kept to 100% contrast.
The thing that makes OLED screens so energy efficient is the only areas of the screen receiving current are those displaying a "color". Black areas are simply unpowered locations/pixels. It's why you see OLED phones like the Samsung Galaxy generally with black backgrounds and light lettering, more energy efficient. Regular LCD screens are backlit, usually by LEDs, which are always on, and the screen "simulates" black by "closing" those pixels to obstruct the light source. As the LEDs are on when the screen is active, regardless of what's being displayed, they keep consuming power.
That, and good OLEDs have really great color rendition, although sometimes it can be almost over the top. But OLEDs are really the only way to get a true, pure black out of a screen, although LCDs have gotten way better.
If it's an OLED, which is really common these days for new mods, it won't matter enough to bother. LCDs will conserve energy dialed down.
Only reason I know this stuff is from lots of video display experience, and waiting 10 freaking years for them to finally offer affordable (relatively speaking) big displays for home theater type use. I'm picky about my movies, almost as bad as my vape stuff. Almost

I'm the same way. I'm audio/videophile myself. Waiting for the new line of Sony 4k oleds to drop with HDR. It will be my first OLED set.
Plus these ones At least on the Pico use the rapid flashing led. They're not a constantly powered diode. They flash so fast that they look like they're always on. This is the best picture I could get to demonstrate this.
There you go. Same principle. Although LCD manufacturers have gotten so good through so many generations of development, the differences are less noticeable than with LCDs from even a few years ago. Still, I love my pure black for film.

Interesting how you caught that. Pretty cool.
Did you notice in the Youtube video of the touchscreen mod it had 2 battery indicators. Must be extra power for the screen I would think.
Off topic since i started talking about TV sets with Eskie and stuff. But is there any sub-forums on thise site to talk about things like that? not just electronics in general, but like social boards where we can discuss movies, games, anythnng on our minds? or Am i just not finding them, or is the site just strictly all about E-cig/vaping?
Really off topic, but my favorite HDTV was my 34" 16:9 CRT from Sony, which was the largest CRT ever released in that aspect ratio. Weighed about 250 lb. It might have been small at 34", but with the lights in the room turned way down, black was black, perfect for film. At the time, the smaller 16:9 Sony CRT was pretty much the standard for professional editing of HD material. Those days are long gone.
There's the Lounge, which I'm sure a mod will be along soon to suggest this moved over there really soon anyway.
OMG i have that set in my basement!! with the super fine pitch tube? the sony xbr960? RIGHT!!!! The BEST picture quality EVER at the time!!!

Will they close threads that start to go off topic???? Anyway is there even a way to adjust the brightness of the pico screen?There's the Lounge, which I'm sure a mod will be along soon to suggest this moved over there really soon anyway.
