Does the unit "sleep", or is the display always lit when the power is on? How bright is the display?

I don't think it sleeps (ie: the display turning off), though I haven't really paid much attention to it since it is used as a kitchen stereo. Pretty sure it does always stay lit up. It isn't very bright, but if you are using it near your bed and are sensitive to any form of light while sleeping it could be an issue.

The backlight part of the display does not stay on when the unit is turned off. However, there is a display of time and some other misc info that remains displayed as long as there is power to the unit.

It is normal for the power light to be on. The sound stops but the power stays on until the volume button is turned off. But who wants to do that when you're sleeping?!

No, the unit is always lit. It is a low voltage system, though, and doesn't use much power.

The screen is bright, I haven't noticed any issues. It does get warm, but I use a cooling pad with fan under it. It is heavy also.

I'm assuming you mean on the unit itself? If so then the answer is no. When switched off there are no LED's illuminated the unit. When switched on there is a green LED that lighted up to indicate that the power is on. Hope that helps you.

I'm getting a lot more than the other answers so far. I keep the display a couple ticks below maximum brightness most of the time, which helps, but I get a good eight hours.

My display is perfect. I keep my computer on almost 24/7. But I can't say if it's Samsung. It's surely LED.

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.

Go to Setting menu, scroll down to the Miscellaneous Setting, scroll down to Display Backlit. Default setting is pretty bright. I

Display in daylight is excellent. It's a good unit. My only problem was security with unit and exposed cable to plug-in. But, it works great, right out of the box.

It does not. I just confirmed it with the one I just got - unplugged it - pushed the power button - nothing. Nice display though. The rechargeable battery seemed like a weak feature anyway because it was only rated at ~1-hour of use.

It seems to depend on what kind of power source on the motherboard you are tapped into. Usually...no. Nothing stays lit when the computer is off in in sleep mode.

The display doesn't stay lit,I use the batteries so not sure if it is plugged in if that makes a difference.

Previous answers are correct. Enjoy the machine. I like mine and set it on timer. The display is bright and easy to read.
