Does the display stay lit at all times?

Nope, only when it decides it's dark enough. Though I believe it's configurable as an option

You can turn the backlight on and off to conserve battery when illumination is not needed. I have found it much easier to take long measurements when it is dark so my backlight gets a lot of use.

If you have the cord plugged into the power supply the display stays lit. It should go off if nothing is plugged in.

The display does light up, however, we usually read it in daylight . In daylight it is very easy to see . Sorry I don't know more about its visibility at night.

YES. The display does shut off after a preset amount of time. You can select the number of minutes in the menu. Or you can select to have it never turn off.You people saying it never shuts off are smoking crack.YES THE DISPLAY/SCREEN SHUTS OFF.

No. I need good light to see the display when setting it. Minor inconvenience in my opinion. I have 4 of them and have to set them all for time changes and seasonal adjustments. I keep the manual (a scanned copy if the in-box instructions) on my computer for reference.

No. The display will always show the last time it was set to. Do not concern yourself with the battery life because it will last for a long time.

okay, I was assuming the display would go blank after 5 mins. to save battery but I guess it always stays on and shows the time.thanks

The LED will stay lit for whatever selection you make, but no there is no indicator for time remaining.

No, the display does not light up. It is a very basic, but very simple to operate unit.

No. The light only comes on when you are adjusting the settings, or if you press the large button underneath the display. The light will stay on for about 10 or 15 seconds after you stop pressing buttons and then turn itself off.

I can't answer that question right now. I do know that my unit is dark and does not emit any disturbing display light whatsoever.

Yes, the display is always on, and displays the actual temperature in C, not F, which cannot be changed. You have to go into the setup mode to see temperature set point, hidden when in run mode.

Yes, it looks like it retains all settings even it is completely unplugged. I have unplugged it for at least 2 weeks. It keeps settings without problem.

This unit will stay on, but after several idle minutes it will go into a power saver mode, the LCD readout will go dim and will stay that way until the unit is used again. If you turn the unit off, the readout goes into clock mode displaying the current time. For the price this is a very good item!

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.

Yes! The hours do remain lit when the OPEN is turned off. The hours remain on so long as it is plugged into an outlet. It's a great sign! I love the colors, pretty easy to set up as well.

Display can be FULLY dimmed. In fact that's how I prefer it. It also has battery back up. It is not an atomic clock.
