What people use a malachite screen for
As a saturated color, malachite makes a bold backdrop for product photos, thumbnails and streams, and a strong mood light for a desk or party.
Green screens are best known for chroma-key video: streamers and filmmakers fill a display with pure green to key themselves onto a different background. Green is also the channel the eye is most sensitive to, so a green field is a sensitive test for panel uniformity and stuck pixels, and a softer green makes a calm ambient light.
As a test pattern, a flat malachite field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the green sub-pixel.
