Is the display backlit? I.e. can the display be read in the dark?

The display is not "backlit". The readings are bright red LCD on a black background.

Yes, the display reading is in red text again black. When I come up the stairs at night with no lights I am able to see the reading of 0.

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.

Yes you can see the display in the dark. The back light goes out after a couple of minutes. Don't know about the clock, having 24 hr settings

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.

I believe the question refers to the digital time not being backlit. This is an issue I also have with this unit. Very hard to read the time. In fact, any of the info on the screen is hard to read!

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.

No they are not backlit. Very few laptops are. My last was and I don't "miss" this feature at all!

Yes, the screen is backlit but just like a mobile phone it is timed to go out after a few secs and comes on again when a button is pressed.Cheers Alex V.

No, it is not black lit but easy to read. You can also use a keyboard on the actual display.

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.

You can adjust the color and brightness of the display. In standard mode it's too bright at night. Switch to red or green and it's fine (but hard to read in sunlight).

No, the key pad is not backlit but I have no problem seeing the numbers at night since the background of the numbers is a fairly bright white

It is not fully backlit. The LCD display and the middle button along the top row are backlit, but only when other buttons are pressed. It has a learning feature, but I haven't had to use it. I've been able to get by just be entering codes for other devices. But that's mostly unnecessary if your other devices support HDMI control (CEC). For me, I only needed to enter the code for my TV. Oh, this is an excellent receiver. It sounds so much better than the one it replaced. If needed, Yamaha support is excellent as well; they're available 24/7, even on weekends.

No, it's not backlit. It is a great scale however. A really good item to own.

Yes, the LCD screen is normally dark ( but viewable in room light ), but when you perform a function, press buttons, etc. the screen does light up.

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

I can confirm, they are not backlit. But I guess you can attach an external keyboard that is, if you need it. (if I'm typing in the dark I generally tip the monitor a bit to light up the keys.
