    You’d know if your desktop monitor was oled. Especially with how much they cost. Phones not so much since a lot of mid range ones will be OLED.

    Easiest method is open a black image. Is the screen 100% off, no light being emitted by it? If there’s light it’s LCD. If there’s no light then it’s OLED, or a fancy LCD with dimming zones. Use your (white) cursor to activate the zones and see if you see light squares. If you can’t then it’s OLED, or mini/micro LED. And once again you’d probably know it’s one of the two by the price you paid, or it’s a MacBook Pro.

      Ahh, thanks! So that’s how my phone screen can be so dark, but then have one line of white text on it for the clock. I always thought that was kind of strange. Must be OLED, I guess.
