I wondered about that. If what you're saying is right, it's a real shame. I thought the screen curtain might just kill all light to the screen, thereby conserving battery.
Have you actually tested this, have you? What did you do and what were the results? It's very interesting.

In my opinion, screen curtain is not as good at conserving battery life as actually reducing screen brightness. In my rudimentary testing, turning the screen curtain on just basically turns the pixels opaque, not dim the backlight. Its like pulling a black shade down on a window streaming in sunlight. Just because the shade is down, doesn't mean the sun isn't still up. :) Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On May 5, 2013, at 9:32 PM, Nicholas Parsons <mr.nicholas.pars...@gmail.com> wrote: > Why don't you just turn the screen curtain on instead of lowering brightness? > Or do you still need the screen to look at? > > P.S.
