How bright is the led display? i was thinking of this for a bedside clock, but can't deal with those really bright displays for the time.

You can easily use this for a bedside clock,display is not that kind of bright that hurts your eyes.

It's pretty bright. I don't use it as an alarm clock, but I'll normall turn it off in my den because it draws attention when it's not in use. I really like this unit, but if bright light bothers you, you might want to choose somethiing else.

Hello, you can adjust the brightness of the screen for better viewing in bright situations. Thanks, and let us know if you have any other questions.

It shouldn't be too bright especially since you can control the angle of the light. Worse case scenario? Try it, and if it doesn't work it's very handy for a lot of other things....or send it back. I think you'll like it.

honestly you won't even notice it. the LED indicators aren't that bright. i thought it was going to bother me but it's not even an issue for me or my wife.

The picture and brightess seem excellent to me. In a dark room when I turn it on it seems really bright for a few seconds .??Is this backlight bleedthrough? Black seems very black. The built in speakers are not adequate and if you do any music or sound for that matter, use auxiliary speakers for sure.

I believe there are three digital display settings, and the darkest one is off. But I haven't tried that because I want to see the time in the morning. I have it on dim and it's great.

One suggestion for Sangean if they're listening ... I have the PR-D5 ... you should have an option to keep the display lit continuously if the user wants it. (Like the 909x, which I also own).

Yes, it's bright enough to read by, if it isn't located too far from the page. I have mine about 30" above my computer keyboard and it is quite bright. It gets on the hot-ish end of warm, but not so hot you can't touch it. And it uses batteries somewhat quickly, so I recommend either Enoloop rechargeables or the accessory power supply, depending on your placement needs. I think of this as wide-angle task lighting, not room lighting, so if you have dark corners, it helps a lot; for illuminating a dark room, not so much. HTH.

I think the monitor is awesome. The colors are great and I have no major issues with the display. My minor complaint is that the display is exceptionally bright. I have my brightness setting set to zero and it was still a little too bright. I got used to it after a few days though.

I love my monitor the screen is bright enough yet pleasant to the eyes. You do not feel any eye strain. This is possibley due to the LED lites

I don't think it's possible. If there is, i cant find it. I've read that others are also bothered by the brightness of the display. Try a piece of tinted film, I think you can get some pretty inexpensively at a craft store.

Still considered the best LED display by many, and imho it's the best display overall still today. Great blacks, detail, crisp, color, when other "normal" tv viewers can see how special the set is, it really says something. If you can find one buy it ASAP.

I am responding to you on the one i bought . I'ts bright never had any problem with this monitor. my guess you have a defective one. sorry.

It's as bright as any "real" candle. Personally I don't think it's suitable as a bedside lamp. Hard to say how many YOU might prefer for reading. Remember the base is about 3 1/2" in diameter so you'de need a fairly large nightstand. Also I think the flickering would get annoying. Abe may have done it, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. It may not bother you now, but you'll pay dearly for it in poor eyesight later in life.

Buy led shades. They are tinted plastic that you cut to size and stick over the incredibly bright time readout. I had same problem. They are way overpriced but work. I actually had to put two of them on so I can sleep.

This plasma is considerably brighter than most. Will it be brighter than the brightest LED? No, but I came from an LED and I have 0 brightness issues. I love this tv. It took 6 tvs before I was happy, and it was worth the hassle.
