Is the screen backlit?

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.

Sort of, but it is still not that easy to read. My recommendation to you would be not to buy it. Mine only works intermittently and it shows temps ranging from way too high to way too low. For some reason at times it totally shuts down when inserted into the meat. To make a long story short it worked as it was supposed to for only about a week. I finally broke down and purchased a Therma Pen instant read thermometer for $96 (I haven't received it yet). I can only hope I have a better experience with the Therma Pen. So far I haven't had a good experience with any thermometer I have ever purchased and I have no idea why that should be! Sort of, but it is still not that easy to read.

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

No, not back lighted. Returning because pictures make it look like it is, but it isn't.

Hello, no it does not have a backlit keyboard. Hope this helps. But it's a fantastic laptop!

I just got his laptop and yes it does have a back-lit keyboard. The back light is red on black keys with white lettering. Looks pretty awesome.

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

Yes it does! The backlit keyboard is very useful as I'm a night person. The screen is 400-nit which is super bright and I have no problems seeing the screen outdoors.

No, there is no backlight. Not on the models I have. Mine are 3+ years old.

Yes. The keyboard is back lit kind of bluish white. There are three brightness levels - four if you count "off."

Yes the screen is always lit unless you turn it off. However the screen is different than a clock. It is not a black background with red or white numbers. The screen is a blue background with all the information in white numbers. The entire screen is illuminated. there are three levels of illumination. On the higher levels you can use it as a night lite. It can be that bright.

No, for this particular one the screen is not lighted. I chose it because my Husband is retired and sits by a window during the day where there is good sunlight. I did not even consider this feature when I bought it. I can tell you he finds it challenging and is really enjoying it.

No it has no backlit keyboard. As for the battery it runs 2.5 hours connected to internet heavily / 3.5 hours airplane mode video playback with dimmed screen.

The keyboard does not have backlight ability. The text font on the keys give it that illusion but it does not.

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

No, it has a little pop out light at the top of the display to light the keyboard, the light is insufficient. This computer is a powerful tough machine with lots of top end features but it lacks a backlight keyboard. I highly recommend this computer what it lacks in style is more than made up in power and functionability.

The screen is not overly bright. It is good for playing games. I do not remember if there was a brightness control. I hope this description is good enough without resorting to a scale.

No the LCD is not backlit. I think that is a great idea it would be nice if it had a switch to turn it on or off to save power. for that matter it would be nice if the meter had a switch to turn the display on or off.
