The description says it has a back-lit display. What color is the back-lit display? And, can the back-lit display stay on permanently?

The display has a white back-light that works and looks great, but only stays on for about 30 seconds after the last button push. If you find a way to keep the back-light on, let me know. The instructions don't say anything about being able to program or change the back-lit feature.

I would say the display is white. I know of no way to keep it on permanently. This is a superior product and I highly recommend.

Its a pale gray/white. Not very bright but enough to set the device. stays on for about 30 secs after last button is pressed. Very highly recommend!!!

The backlit display is white. It stays on for a few seconds, various options in time, but does not stay on permanently. I assume it would burn out after a while.

Yes it is backlit........I think it comes on automatically once you are in the dark. It remains off in daylight.But I am subject to correction on that; I'm no expert !

The display is continuous and can alternate between the data you want - as an example heart rate and cadence. No backlight, but most people are not riding at night.

Yes, but the battery doesn't need changed. The display is not dim like it says it would be if it needed changed. I got a new one, so do you know where I can find amazons return policy?

No it doesn't. There's no built in back light. Sorry. It only displays the name of the song and who's it by.

No. The light only comes on when you are adjusting the settings, or if you press the large button underneath the display. The light will stay on for about 10 or 15 seconds after you stop pressing buttons and then turn itself off.

Its battery operated. Not a long life. OK for short display,not forgrooming.

The backlight comes on when certain changes are made - stays on for a while then goes out. The time and station are still indicated however, just no backlight.

No, the screen isn't backlit, and there is no way to make it light up, at least as far as I can tell. The numbers are kind of dim; I think people with poor eyesight would have a problem reading them. I got this stopwatch because it was the least expensive and simplest I could find, but it doesn't have the niceties of a more expensive one. It suits my needs, but you might want to look for something better. Good luck!

The screen is not backlit per se. However, the screen has a reflective surface of some kind and a large digital display making it easy to read in low light.

On mine the display illuminates for a few seconds after a button is pressed, and then it goes out. The display does not stay lit.

YES. The display does shut off after a preset amount of time. You can select the number of minutes in the menu. Or you can select to have it never turn off.You people saying it never shuts off are smoking crack.YES THE DISPLAY/SCREEN SHUTS OFF.

We have had ours for just over a year now. It is working perfectly, but the display is still scrolling as it did on day one. We have never figured out how to turn it off either.

It is an LED display. There are preset light bars in there. An LCD display would be a solid display which this is not.

No, the display does not light up. It is a very basic, but very simple to operate unit.
