Can the screen be turned off while still functioning? I don't want to go to sleep with a bright screen on next to me. Thanks!

Kind of.. It has a function where the screen will stay off until it detects some level of volume from the camera. Once the sound is detected the screen will come on, but then go off again until more sound is detected (like when the baby cries, talks, etc.) I don't remember exactly what this function is called, but its some type of voice activation.

Yes the blue screen does emit light. You have to turn that off as well. I haven't noticed light once that is off.

The big knob on the side that adjust the brightness has an off position. But you really don't have to turn it off, the battery will last for years with it on.

Yes, there is a setting called "vox" on the monitor that makes the screen go dark and just turns on if there is motion or noise sensed. We use that one frequently!

There isn't a way to turn it off. It's only on when it's dark and it's not overly bright. Just enough to be able to see where it is to touch.

It is not possible to turn off the display at any time, though you can adjust brightness from 0-100. The best technique to use to conserve battery life is turn the unit off when not in use. This only takes a second or so.

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.

Yes the screen is always lit unless you turn it off. However the screen is different than a clock. It is not a black background with red or white numbers. The screen is a blue background with all the information in white numbers. The entire screen is illuminated. there are three levels of illumination. On the higher levels you can use it as a night lite. It can be that bright.

You can set the switch so that it runs constantly, which will allow it to be on during the day. But if you do that, it's no brighter than a real TV seen during the day, which isn't very noticeable. And of course, unlike a real TV where someone might be able to see the screen during the day, with this product there's no screen, so you have to position it so it can't be directly seen from outside.

The picture remains on, it has never shut off like a screen saver, and it is a very clear picture, even at night. hope this helps.You should also know that there are many advanced features, so you wish, you can set it to keep the picture off until there is noise, and you pick the level of noise that will trigger the picture. It really is a good monitor if you can get it at a good price.

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!

thats actually the backlite on the screen - if it can be turned off the user manual should tell you how --

No, you can not turn off the LCD. You can set the brightness to a very low level; however you can not turn it off.

You can only turn it off with the switch in the back off it, and sometimes that wont turn it off. You may even have to unplug it to turn it off. It has a faux shutoff button on screen but it only turns the video off to make the appearance that the system is off, but in actuality it only turns off the display to the TV.

There is a function that will allow it to come on only with movement or sound. I have not tried it because it isn't that bright and is only about two inches by two inches, the screen that is.

Hi ! Yes you will be able to see the screen at night there is a light in the screen that you turn on or off

I don't think you can turn it off or get it below 1. Your only options are probably to turn the front away from you, or use something to cover that part of the display. A small hand towel could probably be used to bunch up in front of it while you're sleeping, while easily stowed away when making your bed in the morning.
