Is the display lit up? Can you see the read out in a patients room with no lights on?

this device worked well for about 4 months but did not hold up to the riggers of a medsurg unit

The display does light up, however, we usually read it in daylight . In daylight it is very easy to see . Sorry I don't know more about its visibility at night.

I use it for personal use. But, there is a backlight, so you can see the numbers in the dark.

Yes, the display is lit. I just tried it in a closet, and I could read it fine.

No, but I've never had problems reading the display. I use this for brewing, grilling and baking, and even in partial light, it's still clear and readable.

I have mine in my living room, so I'm not sure. I would say will light it up, but maybe not enough to read.

It is not illuminated at all. A simple digital display. Clear with moderate room lighting.

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

Hi, illuminated like in a small light? No. It just displays with normal digital numbers.

There's nothing on the display when not in use. HOWEVER it does blink when turned on and measuring. Not that this is the black LCD readout panel. No blinky lights.

It's screen lights up like a computer screen so you can read in a dark room. It is not like a kindle. If you want to use it like a flashlight you would have to download an app.

There is no light on it and I wish I had paid attention to that! It's easy to see as the numbers are big but hard when it's in a dark room. It's a good stopwatch for kids but I ended up getting an alternate one with a light from Amazon as well!

No there is no display. However, when the unit goes off it returns to the previous setting when turned back on.

I don't think it's bright enough to read by. It's really just a nice, low light that brightens up any dark areas you may have in the room. I originally bought it exactly for that purpose but liked it so much anyway that I decided to keep it lol! Keep looking if you really want something to read by but if you want a nice, trendy looking lamp, this is a good buy =)

Previous answers are correct. Enjoy the machine. I like mine and set it on timer. The display is bright and easy to read.

There's no back light at all. If it's dark, you need to turn a light on to read it. Since it has an audible alarm, there is ordinarily no need to read the display.

no, it is just a LCD display without any lights. I use older white version of the device.

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.

Mine is not. The numbers are nice and dark and viewable at a wide angle, but it has no backlighting. I use it for solar applications, which don't take place in the dark ;-) so I can't say how hard it would be to read in dark, but in bright sunlight I have no problem.

I am bed ridden and it sits beside my hospital bed and use it for reading. It has 2 levels of light to use. Find to be much better then my bed stand table lamp 50-100-150 cfl for reading.
