Someone said the screen is not back lighted when it clearly is in the picture. Is it back lighted? That's important to me!

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

The screen is back lighted and is able to tilt to get the best vantage point.

The screen is most definitely NOT backlit. The only lights on this phone are the Incoming Call light above the screen, and the Mute and Speaker buttons when activated. If you go to the official description at telephones.att.com, they make no mention of backlighting (or Dect 6.0 cordless compatibility either - Amazon refuses to correct these errors). The model with full screen backlighting is the CL4940.

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.

I took it into a dark room and I could not see the screen. I suggest that you go online to Sony and download the owner's Manuel. I don't see anything about a backlight in it, but maybe I just missed it.

No, the screen doesn't light up, and you cannot see it in the dark. I will rephrase, my screen doesn't light up, and I cannot see it in the dark.

We got this for our Granddaughter for Christmas last year. To the best of my recollection, there was no back lighting in the display. You could read the display just fine with normal room lighting. I would suspect that this is normal so that the battery life of the recharge lasts the longest time possible. At least this was my reasoning when she opened and used this constantly for many days. A year later, she still loves this. Hope this helps.

The image shown looks to be back lit, but the one I bought is Not.Besides, having a light in side only runs your Battery down Quicker!Suggestion!, buy a small LED flashlight and keep it in a easy too locatespot (your pocket or in your Tool Box.).Raven

No, it doesn't. The screen has a range of light intensity... I never thought about needing a lighted keyboard, to be honest.

The screen is really small and very dark. My daughter doesn't really like it because she can't see it. I hope this helps

No the keyboard is not back lit. I tell you the truth my friend. My son loves it though. Wendy

No, it is not backlit when the call comes in. It is the same display as when the phone is sitting idle.

Yes the keyboard is backlit. You might be also interested to know that the screen has a matte finish.

These are sold in black, and are shown in black. The lighting used may make it appear lighter on some screens. Let us know if you have any other questions!

The screen is backlit. There is an option in the settings you can toggle on and off. The backlit screen runs down the batteries much more quickly

I would classify the screen as "matte" since there is no reflection off of the screen itself; however, the image on the screen is pretty bright compared to my other monitor--I need to adjust this.

Emphasize: "non LED screen"! Um, don't people looking at this set want an LED back light screen?LED is a major plus.

Actually the screen never when on correctly. It still has an edge up on it. So I guess the answer is , Yes.

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.
