Does the screen have a back light in case I'm measuring in dark place ?

It does not have a back light. You will have problems reading it in a dark space unless you use a flashlight.

It does have a back light but you only can see it if no other light is available.

It does have a back light, you do have to turn it on, using the "Light" button, the middle button in top row of buttons on the upper right. I did not realize there is a backlight as I have not needed the light. I always use this in my studio. Your question caused me to look. Thanks for asking this question.

I cant remember as I gave it as a gift. I believe it had the option to turn a backlight on for night use.

No. The clock numbers are black on a silver screen. It is not visible in the dark

No, it's not backlit bright enough to type in complete darkness. What they meant by "backlit", is that on the top of the keyboard, it shows if the battery is fully charged, which is illuminated, but far from the degree to see the keyboard in complete darkness.

Mine doesn't. I don't know where the confusion is, but mine is clearly a standard LCD with NO backlight. I've seen nothing on the web page or in the instructions to suggest that it does, and I'm sure that would be a selling feature. It doesn't need a lot of light, but if you have to use one in the dark I'd suggest getting one that specifically says it is backlit.

No, it does not. I also own the generation after this and that does not have a backlit screen either. I'm not sure if any of the eInk readers have that feature.

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 backlight but it does come with carry case, banana test lead, and temperature probe.

There is no back light. I have been able to see the readout in twilight, though, but not much after sunset. It does provide a continuous power readout - and you can smooth the power readings. Note that this unit is an older legacy version - but fully functional and upgradable to their latest firmware (5.0) for $50. It works as advertised with or without the firmware upgrade.

No. The keyboard is not backlit and I wouldn't recommend trying to use it in complete darkness.

Yes, the LCD screen is normally dark ( but viewable in room light ), but when you perform a function, press buttons, etc. the screen does light up.

No! The buttons illuminate when pushed, or light up through the sequence of a system macro, but no back lighting.

I don't see it unless there is light shining on it. The light from the screen does not light it up. My office is somewhat dark and the frame looks almost black. I really like this monitor.

No backlight just dark numbers againsta light background. In good light, thecontrast is fine. Great little tool.

Nope. Has an LED for Caps Lock and for touchpad "deactivate". But no backlight for keys. Don't type in the dark, anyway it's bad for your eyes :)
