Odd question, but how bright is the blue LED on the front? The case I have now, you can use the power LED as a nightlight, which is NOT a good thing.

The LED in the front is pretty damn bright by itself as you can see in the pic taken at broad daylight (ignore my horrible cable management).https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/t1.0-9/1538672_10153763557600501_1188223533_n.jpgHOWEVER, once the case is closed, because of the double layer black meshing in the front, the brightness is reduced to a soothing blue. Even at night you can't see it with your eyes closed pressed against the case. lol

The light on the front is bright enough, any light which is cobalt blue is going to be. But myself personally do not find it annoying.

Actually online aficionado......The new Samsung LED's are WORSE. It is mentioned in cnets reviews and some have left comments here on amazon. One guy mentioned how he can see streaks running through his new LED tv in a dark room. So yeah... LCD's only look good when the lights are on.My friend has a panasonic plasma that he games on a lot. NO BURN IT. There is temporary image retention but that goes away fast.

Right now, no. LEDs are not bright enough. Eventually, in a few years, when they got brighter, then you will.

You possibly could use it as desktop lighting. It is not ideal in my opinion...not very bright. Also, the battery life is supposedly not very long. I would describe it as a "very bright night light", plus it looks great!!

I can only can give my opinion but, in any past experience I have had regarding LED displays like this is not good. Generally, you would have to replace The whole display module.... But I might be wrong. :0/

To answer regarding brightness.. The "blue" circle n fw/rw buttons you see is only what will be lit up. It will show about as much as you see it! I think its enough to see in dark.. Its also going to be next to/close to you on your dash board (left of stereo right of steering wheel)So its easy access!

There are quite a few blue lights on the power and setting buttons that you're using. Depending on how close the machine is to the bedside, they may be distracting. I throw a hand towel over the lights so the brightness doesn't keep me up.

The only thing I can say is that I've never had a problem with the night light shutting off with my unit, and the LED light is only an indicator light, it's not supposed to be that bright. If the night light doesn't shut off, I would ask for a replacement unit.

The blue and green LEDs are bright, yes. Is that a problem? Depends.I have the 5341J in my bedroom and it somewhat illuminates the room at night. Luckily the 4 steady-on LEDs (2 green and 2 blue) are strong enough that the one blinking green LED doesn't give stroboscopic effects in the room, and so as the LEDs are not directly visible when I'm lying in my bed I have no issues with it.If however the LEDs were visible from the corner of my eye when lying in bed, it would annoy me.Tip: If you want to make them less bright but still visible, a sophisticated way of doing so would be to get Rosco #210 .6 Neutral Density Sheet at your professional photo shop and tape a piece of it over the status LEDs.

What I meant was that if you put the computer to SLEEP or into HIBERNATION mode then the blue led for Sabrent stays on but it will NOT stay on if you totally shut the computer down or turn the power strip OFF of course! Apologies if caused confusion!!

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.

It's not really a blue light...but I don't think this is the one you're looking for...it does give off a light that I personally wouldn't want for sleeping.

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.

That's most likely because there's only a blue LED in it. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can change the LED to what ever color you like.

I had Best Buy replace my LED with a Plasma. They were unfamiliar with the problem. Sort of surprising. But they were very nice about replacing.

The blue light in front is the light front the front coolling fan (the fan with LED light), therefore, it is part of the acutal case. Of course you can disconnect the fan if you don't like the light.

Hello, Of course the light is not AS visible as when not in the case but that hasn't been a problem as I've got notification ringtone so don't need the light. No the case doesn't have anything to do with the functioning of your phone as in sleep/wake. I do love it very much as it surrounds the phone and gives better protection!! Like a wallet in your pocket as apposed to an exposed phone. Thanks for asking Donna
