Then the screen contrast or brightness is wrong.
It's not hyperbole. It's exactly why dark mode was promoted, after OLED screens arrived. We had "dark mode" for over 25 years because "paper mode" didn't work well on CRTs then. Blackboards were replaced by Whiteboards, not just because replacing chalk (Calcium Sulphate) with dry wipe markers. Mono LCDs could have used "dark mode" but paper mode was better. OHPs used "paper mode".
Silent Movies used "dark mode" captions, later movies used paper mode captions.
