Can you read the display in dim lighting?

Yes; because the calculator works on solar and/or battery, the display is readable in dim lighting.
1173850
Yes, I can. The screen is large enough to see clearly. I very much like my calculator.
1173851
Yes. I've had absolutely no problem reading it. I've been extremely pleased with it.

It is not back-lit so reading in dim lighting is difficult. The digital read-out is black on a silver gray background.

Not in a way that is like turning on a brighter light. After you turn the machine on, press the "Misc." button; using the Cursor, press the down arrow until "CONTRAST" shows on the display screen; then using the Value button, press either the - or + to change the contrast number anywhere from 1 (brightest) to 10 (darkest). Even with a value of 1, the display is still relatively dark due to the greenish background screen. If you still have the manual, the info is on pg. 37 under "Changing the display contrast".

No the display will not dim the only thing you can manipulate is the amount of time it stays on

The dimmest setting is very dim, only readable close-up. The brightest setting isn't all that bright - does not cast light into the room like a night light.

really not sure if you can I have never tried but the display is not really bright or distracting. Its one of the only draw backs to this unit is that the display is pretty modern.

I dim the light on my screen. This makes viewing from side angles difficult.You might try that, I haven't had any problems.

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.

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

The screen is about an inch tall and two inches wide. It is lit up with an orange background and black numbers. You can read it in the dark.

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

The display has 4 settings (3 light levels) that I call: FULL ON, 2/3, 1/3, OFF. The lowest level works OK for me.

There are about 7 display levels. The lowest is dark so you would need a light to view the time.

No. Mine does not seem to have a backlight on the display in any mode or range selection I could try.

No, the display is the typical LED with black letters on a gray background. There is not an illumination button.
