My Question or Issue

I noticed that recently when I switch on the "Dark mode" while Spotify is playing on my TV, the background doesn't really turn black like it used to. Now the background shows grey, so the TV keeps the backlight on. Now this is something that was changed on recent versions of Spotify. I don't know exactly when this was changed but I guess maybe 1 or 2 months ago. The old version was actually displaying black background, which not only looked nicer but also saves more energy on the TV.

For the reference, I have an OLED TV so the it can display perfect blacks with no backlighting at all.

Photos attached for comparison.

 

Please bring back fully black background when using Dark Mode.
