Tap or press any key while black to bring the controls back.

What can you use a black screen for?

OLED & AMOLED darknessOn displays that can switch individual pixels off, pure black can emit effectively no light from those pixels.
Backlight bleed & bright-pixel checksA dark field can make unwanted glow, bright defects and uneven illumination easier to notice. It is not a calibration tool.
Dark second monitorKeep another display black while the computer stays awake, without a bright desktop or video player sitting in the room.
Screen cleaningA uniform dark screen makes dust, smudges and fingerprints easier to see. Turn the device off before any cleaning method that requires it.
Focus & low-distraction roomsRemove a bright visual surface when you want the monitor present but visually quiet.
SleepIf the screen is going beside the bed, use the dedicated sleep version for an optional dim clock and bedside links.

Pure black, not a black video

This page itself is black. There is no playback timeline, recommendation panel or video frame waiting to light up again. When the controls are hidden, the browser viewport is simply a black surface.

OLED and LCD behave differently

OLED and AMOLED panels can turn black pixels off individually. Most LCD screens still use a backlight behind the panel, so a black image can remain faintly illuminated and may reveal backlight bleed or IPS glow.
