Does the unit have an illuminated LCD? Sometimes I'll start the smoker before sunrise.

No it doesn't. But to be honest, the purpose of this thermometer for me was to use my phone (which has illuminated screen). So I don't do a single thing with the unit itself other than turn it on and plug in probes. Everything else can be set from your phone.

No it does not. I returned this unit after one smoke. The Bluetooth capabilities are useless. If you are using this as just a thermometer you are good to go. If you need remote functionality, RUN!!!

Yes, the small indicator light always blinks unless you remove the batteries. But that is really no different than most smoke detectors. It hasn't drained our batteries and isn't annoying us. The lantern works really well.I highly recommend it.

No, it does not. I also own the generation after this and that does not have a backlit screen either. I'm not sure if any of the eInk readers have that feature.

It is an icon screen for selections. The selected station logo does not dim much. However it is not too bright for my sleeping patterns.

Yes it does. You can adjust the back-lit so it either has no light, minimal brightness, or very bright. Upon a button press the display lights up to allow better viability to what you are doing.

This unit does not have the LCD display that some others models have - instead it has a number of small LEDs to provide operation status. The LEDs and the power button are blue for normal power. During power fluctuations they may glow red or yellow. For instance, if the voltage is high a red LED would inform you of that, while a separate yellow LED would indicate that the unit is doing it's job by trimming the power actually going to your components. Hope this helps.

It does, but the one I got did not last but 5 days operating and now only goes thru starting and then the display stays black.

No it isn't illuminated and that is a drawback. But it is a nice functional delayed brew unit, and I'm very happy with it. Roger Cook

yes, it does, the problem with the unit is that when it is bright and sunny you can't see the screen.

Mine doesn't. I don't know where the confusion is, but mine is clearly a standard LCD with NO backlight. I've seen nothing on the web page or in the instructions to suggest that it does, and I'm sure that would be a selling feature. It doesn't need a lot of light, but if you have to use one in the dark I'd suggest getting one that specifically says it is backlit.

Yes, a blue light on each side of the display. Since the unit does NOT have an ON/OFF switch, the battery life is a lot shorter than it should be. Use the data sheet that came with the unit AND the info imprinted on the back of the unit to interpret the setup instructions, which are among the worst I have ever seen.

Hi Jeff. . I think so because I bought one and when I turn it on it shows on the screen. ..

Yes, it has a light button, the black button on bottom right under the screen.

On mine, what is "normal" is that there are black LCD segment digits on a blue background for about 15 seconds. IMO, seeing nothing at all on the display is not normal.

It is not illuminated at all. A simple digital display. Clear with moderate room lighting.

You must order it through amazon. You can still tell the color behind smoked but Smoked decreases the lighting by 30-40%.

My unit dims pretty well, It doesnt bother me at night, however, its not OEM dim. You can also turn off the screen if its that troubling
