Is there a dim feature for the display screen, or is it always bright?

Go to Setting menu, scroll down to the Miscellaneous Setting, scroll down to Display Backlit. Default setting is pretty bright. I

That's a great question!! If there is a dimmer feature, I have yet to find it.

The display can be seen in the dark, there are lights but I don't think it's backlit and I did not see a brightness adjustment so I don't believe there is one.

No..the display will be on the screen all the time.....it will become brighter when the unit is turned on.....

I think that is the light sensor. It adjusts the brightness of the display based on room light level.

There are two settings only - bright and dim - it can not be turned off. You would not be able to read the display if it were completely dark.

you have to search out adaptive brightness, there is an area where you can turn off the adaptive brightness, so it stays bright always.

Yes, like most other computers nowadays, you can turn the brighest low enough that the screen turns off. It this "bright room" of yours is equal to a really hot sunny summer day than it might be hard to see but thats different so i think itll be alright. This computer is definitely worth it.

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

Well I can only speak for myself but I think it's pretty clear. I got this one because I just wanted a new one; old one was a 19" and the difference in how the screens are is really noticeable. For example this monitor is so bright that I had to take the brightness level all the way to zero, and even then for a while it was still too bright until my eyes got used to it. So now I always leave it on zero even when I watch like tv shows. I rarely have to put it up to anymore unless the show is super dark, and even then forty-eight to fifty works.

I'm getting a lot more than the other answers so far. I keep the display a couple ticks below maximum brightness most of the time, which helps, but I get a good eight hours.

I have heard that the brightness is really only a problem in the show rooms. Once you take it home and start watching it under more "normal" lighting conditions then it looks good. For the most part "cinema" mode and the like just lower the brightness so that it is not overwhelming when you are watching it in a darker room.

I can't answer that question right now. I do know that my unit is dark and does not emit any disturbing display light whatsoever.

there is a button that you press to lessen or brighten the light. you can put the display on pitch black too. however, the blue light on the mute button does not dim. but if you have it installed underneath steering column or something its not really noticeable

I don't see it unless there is light shining on it. The light from the screen does not light it up. My office is somewhat dark and the frame looks almost black. I really like this monitor.

If it's not affecting the picture I wouldn't worry about it. I haven't noticed it on mine. The only bright area is around the edges when I have the brightness up.

I haven't had that problem. The display is customizable so that you can make the numbers large if you need it. The screen isn't bright, but I haven't had a problem while running.
