do handsets have back-lit screens?

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.

This phone is not for someone that wears eyelglasses and uses phone next to bed on a night table. I found the orange back light didn't stay on long enough as I had to first put on my eyeglasses before answering. You don't want to answer a wrong # during a deep sleep do you? out. The letters/numbers for me that appear on screen are too small to read in a dark bedroom. I wanted this phone next to my bed. When the phone rings and you are in a deep sleep, wake up to answer a call most people can't see straight at first. I wear eyeglasses and would have to first search out my glasses before answering phone to see who was calling me before answering. I didn't return this nice looking phone as I needed a new phone out in the garage. The keypad also doesn't light up for dialing out. I've purchased another phone with all the features I require.

No, the LCD display is not back lit. You will have to turn on the light in your room to see it at night. This is probably why it is rated as an Energy Star phone. The batteries (3 - AA) last a long time. I only have to change mine about once a year.

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

No backlighting on the keys. The screen provides some light but not as good as the keys may have

Yes the new LCD screen has new back lights - Make sure you order same number and plug in is on the correct side.

If there is power to the camera and screen you will see what ever the camera is pointing at. If you have set them up to only be on when your are in reverse then when you are not in reversed the screen will be dark. I connected my system to be powered from my back up lights.

Mine is quite readable, even in a darkened room. I put my handsets right back in their cradles after use. Could this be the reason?

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

The screen is LCD matrix just like any other monitor or TV. Back light is LED. LED is more reliable than CFL tube(s) used in older designs.

No unfortunately there is not. The only one that I've seen with backlighting is the cases made by Zagg keys but I don't think they've made one for Samsung yet. Sorry

The screens are back lite with a light green screen with black printing, just like the product pictured. I find them easy to read. My wife and I are very pleased with the phones, great range and battery life. We also use the paging system to talk to each other from different floors of our home.

No, I'm sorry it isn't. The keypad and the rest of the telephone handset are all in black - nothing is backlit.

Yes it does have a backlit screen, and the record indication light is a red bar style light located right above the screen.

Hi. The handset itself (the phone) has a tiny screen where you can see the footage

No, there is no backlight. Not on the models I have. Mine are 3+ years old.

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.

No the back screen is not a touch screen all the movement is controlled by the zoom lever and the rotating round dial next to the screen
