Does the unit "sleep", or is the display always lit when the power is on?How bright is the display?

Doesn't sleep if it's on - The display is medium bright - less than many of them on the market, I would say.

The unit does not sleep, the display stays on/lit until you turn it off yourself! I would class this as a regular LED display you would find on home appliances? It isn't particularly bright, but not overly dim either. In a well lit room it is quite unobtrusive, but clear and visible in the dark. The Amazon picture is a fair depiction of what you get!

I don't think it sleeps (ie: the display turning off), though I haven't really paid much attention to it since it is used as a kitchen stereo. Pretty sure it does always stay lit up. It isn't very bright, but if you are using it near your bed and are sensitive to any form of light while sleeping it could be an issue.

The display will always remain on as long as there is a power source connected to the power and ground wires. If the voltage you are measuring is zero, the display will read " 0.0" and there is no auto-powerdown or sleep mode. It will only turn off when the power is removed.

It seems to depend on what kind of power source on the motherboard you are tapped into. Usually...no. Nothing stays lit when the computer is off in in sleep mode.

The low setting is pretty bright. I wouldn't be able to get to sleep if it was on right next to me.

No the display is not illuminated. This is the lower end of the self timers I think.

No, the device itself is completely silent. There is really only one downside to this device in my experience so far. I use it on my nightstand. When the device is plugged in, is has a red power indicator light that is always on, but not very bright. This does not bother me, but when it's charging something there is a bright blue LED that can be very distracting.

Upon going into battery activation, the unit uses the low setting for the light power. The available settings for normal operation are low and high; both are actually pretty bright. Battery light setting is fixed; would be nice if it too was adjustable. The level of lighting is very relative and very hard to measure; especially the concept of radius (ending at which level of light, etc). However it is a substantial level even on low. Generally brighter than a lot of the night lights that we have bought prior.

Yes it lights up, when the power is on, and is easy to read the time. Inexpensive and dependable, does the job.

Usually by going to control panel and then display. Could also be a function your power saver mode sometimes reducing the brightness to save power. Jon A

It is an LED-backlit LCD monitor. I ordered one about 2 months ago... Pretty good screen for the price.

The only thing I can say is that I've never had a problem with the night light shutting off with my unit, and the LED light is only an indicator light, it's not supposed to be that bright. If the night light doesn't shut off, I would ask for a replacement unit.

Yes, the light is faint but visibly stays on either bold or reg when the unit is off.

Out of the box it functions just like a normal monitor/tv would: no automatic on with power cycle. There might be a way to change it in the settings, but that wasn't in our customer specifications, so we didn't mess with it.

The brightness does not change. It is as good on the battery as it is on direct power.

There's nothing on the display when not in use. HOWEVER it does blink when turned on and measuring. Not that this is the black LCD readout panel. No blinky lights.
