LED monitors will only offer energy saving benefits with dark mode if they have "local dimming" (which the ability to turn off certain led nights in response to the image being displayed). And it doesn't appear that this is a very common, or well implemented, feature on PC monitors rtings.com/monitor/tests/picture-q....

Another thing to note with OLED is that the technology is inherently susceptible to burn in. They are not a wise choice for monitors.
