All Black Screen Wallpaper
Screen-trick blacks — cracked-glass pranks, mesh weaves, lock-screen darks and honest solids. Wallpapers about the screen they sit on. Free to download; sign in to post your own.
An all-black screen is either a statement or a joke, and this gallery stocks both. The statement half: mesh textures, lock-screen-ready darks and solids that make the display read as off while it works. The joke half: cracked-glass art convincing enough that someone will try to wipe the damage away — the oldest trick in the wallpaper book and still the best one. Wide frames outnumber tall here, slightly unusual for a screen-prank genre that lives on phones, so check the shape first. Long-press or right-click to save, then set it from your settings. Free for personal use.
Common questions
Do black wallpapers actually save battery?
On OLED and AMOLED screens, yes. A true-black (#000000) pixel is switched off rather than dimmed, so it draws no power — and with an always-on display that runs all day the difference is measurable. On an LCD screen it saves nothing, because the backlight stays on either way. Not sure which you have? Our OLED test tool fills the screen with pure black: on an OLED it goes completely dark, on an LCD you can still see the backlight glowing grey.
