For the black model, is the display backlit? If so, does the back light come on only when buttons are pressed?

I have Model HM630 which is the white version. It has a digital display which stays on as long as the unit is running.

I believe the blacks are the same as the others. The is a black screen with green print - it is on all the time.

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.

Yes you can see the display in the dark. The back light goes out after a couple of minutes. Don't know about the clock, having 24 hr settings

Yes - screen is back-lit, but keypad is not (has big numbers anyway, easy to read). I really like these phones. Never a problem. I don't understand why someone said "hard to see." That's not true at all. Mine are easily visible. You have to pick up the phone to trigger the back lighting, but that is true with most phones. But if there is an incoming call, the lighting comes on immediately for all phones even in their bases which I double-checked just now. And the Caller ID tells you clearly who is calling. It is very well lit.

Backlighting is pretty good, most of the keys are easy to see in the dark. It is a function button that toggles it on or off and it stays that way as long as it is charged.

No. This model didn't have the backlit keyboard. But that is not the reason that I returned it for a refund. The keyboard sucked, backlit or not.

I have several reviews that said there is no backlit display - yet the description of the product says it does have one. Is there a way to activate it or turn it on? Thank you!

The backlight feature works great I can see the keys given in the dark. I've had no problems with this keyboard and then use it all the time

It is not fully backlit. The LCD display and the middle button along the top row are backlit, but only when other buttons are pressed.It has a learning feature, but I haven't had to use it. I've been able to get by just be entering codes for other devices. But that's mostly unnecessary if your other devices support HDMI control (CEC). For me, I only needed to enter the code for my TV.Oh, this is an excellent receiver. It sounds so much better than the one it replaced. If needed, Yamaha support is excellent as well; they're available 24/7, even on weekends.

Yes and no. The unit has a backlight mode. The problem is enabling it requires a two key push button sequence. From that point forward pushing any key briefly illuminates the screen. The unit then defaults back to the unlit mode after some inactive period. I have trouble remembering the key sequence and so can not reliably activate the backlight. Altogether I'd say the key controls throughout this unit are very non intuitive.

Yes. As soon as you press any number key, the talk button or end button, the backlighting turns on.

The backlight is not always on when you push a button. I think it is designed this way. It all depends on the light condition. If it's bright enough, like during the day, the backlight won't turn on. There's a small light sensor on the top left corner of the LCD display which will detect the outside brightness condition, if it finds outside is too dark, it will turn on the backlight when you press a button. Hope this will help.

Also just wanted to say what one of the other responders stated that if you have a keyboard backlight like on the Caps lock or Wi-Fi it will not show. PS my model is DV6 7200EA so minor differences in where one or to keyboard buttons are.

I agree. Only the power button is backlit. OfficeMax advertises it as a backlit keyboard, but that is wrong. Yikes!

I have the 424 and it does have backlight, I don't know about your particular one.

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.
