the screen seems really bright in pictures. So bright that you can't read the scale very well Is that really how it looks? and does it weigh in fl:oz?

The screen is easy to read - we don't have a light issue. It does not weigh in fluid ounces because fluid ounces is a measure of volume and this only measures the weight of what you put on it.

To me the brightness is perfect, I had no trouble at all reading the digital screen. Mine doesn't say fl.oz; only g / lb:oz / oz / ml.

If you mean, is the display easy to see. Yes it is. The ounces are weight not fluid.

The screen is really small and very dark. My daughter doesn't really like it because she can't see it. I hope this helps

It is very bright, I find. Both in dark environs and well lit spaces I can see the display clearly. My old scales are not nearly this visible.

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

It is super light! I would guess a few ounces. I have the yellow and it's so thin that it accents the decal I have on my laptop. I like it.

Not really.... It's under 10 pounds I believe... I tried to put it on my scale but it was too light for any numbers to show up. It feels like 5 to seven pounds...

I have the 3lb and 6lb. mine aren't super bright, nothing alarming. it's a matte finish that cuts down on the vibrancy factor

I don't think it is but the screen is sharp and you can adjust the brightness very easiily

hey rick, it displays grams and ounces (but not pounds). the upper right-hand button switches between ounces and grams, and also serves as the calibration menu. the unit also has a neat backlight for the numeric display if you ever use it in a place with poor lighting. great value for the price

Thanks John. Sadly, I have just tried with no success. Just in case we are talking about different scales, I just bought the HBF-400. Even though the LCD display does have kg & cm indicators (unlit), I cant seem to find a way to make them work (i.e. change to metric). I have been playing with the buttons in order to find a way through. I am sure there has to be a way to access a factory settings mode... I hope there is one.

It's a matte screen, made of a plastic material. Pressing on it changes the brightness in the immediate vicinity. It will reflect some light, but it's definitely not shiny.

Largely no, or not without a lot of trouble. The scale is too small, and the display has a very narrow viewable angle. You can finagle a view, as the other answers attest, but you will be annoyed every time that it's so hard to read.

It has a good display. I think it will be fine in bright sunlight, BUT you must aim it at your face. The best thing is it has a big display whick makes things a lot easier. -Migs

I think the monitor is awesome. The colors are great and I have no major issues with the display. My minor complaint is that the display is exceptionally bright. I have my brightness setting set to zero and it was still a little too bright. I got used to it after a few days though.

Yes. It's a great scale. I can read it without my glasses. It quickly settles on a number and stays lit for about 10 seconds. The scale is in .2 lb, so it will say 163.2 or 163.4, for example, in easy-to-read numbers.

I don´t have a scale at hand now. I am typing this on my Helix, which after a year I still consider a terrific buy, if you can deal with VERY little screen characters. Regarding the weight, I would say it must be closer to the 3.8 lb figure.

Yes the display is readable in bright sunlight. To make the battery last I have a battery management program on it and it will dim it when in doors and brighten it when out doors.
