You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the LG G6's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It could be a tad darker, but if you use the "Comfort view" setting in notification menu, you can turn down blue light which works just as well. This setting is highly customizable.
To me, this is the weak point of the screen. It will get acceptably dim, though, if you activate both battery saver and comfort view, but who wants to go through those steps each time you want to read at night? I've just been using one of the night shift apps to dim the screen during night hours.
Anyone notice the auto brightness toggle not sticking? AT&T model.

Thanks for the tip, this combo does make the screen acceptably dark enough.
Has anyone had any luck with automating lg's settings? I have not been successful with Tasker and would really like to schedule this based on time and ambient light sensor.

I personally didn't think the yellow tint that Comfort View offers helped me. Instead, I used System UI tuner (This app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner&hl=en) to enable the stock android night mode. If you want to try it, it essentially works the same but the tint is more red-ish and is more tolerable in my opinion. However, the intensity of the tint can't be adjusted.
Anyways, I do agree with you that the display should get a bit darker.
Coming from a GS4, the minimum brightness is amazing, especially if you use it combined with the battery saver option, it never seemed too bright, whilst on my S4, i often used the screen filter app to lower minimum brightness

Hi , i found a bug on Nokia Lumia 800 BrightnessSetuo.
If you diseablle Automatic Brightness, and put it manual on medium or high, the three touch Buttons dont have light, only when Brigthnes is on Automatic or on Low (manaal) wrok.
I hope nokia fix these bug soon.

This is not a bug this is a fix given by nokia to increase battery performance.
I also thought it was a bug but checked the nokia forums and in the change log of the latest update it is mentioned that the bottol capacitive button keys only light up if you have ur brightness set to low or auto
My believe is that is is by design. If you're in a place dim enough to struggle to see the capacitive keys, you'll not be using med or high brightness as it will blind you.
Likewise, when you're outside and needing a higher brightness, the ambient light will easily be enough to see the capacitive keys.
I almost always have brightness on low so this change doesn't really affect me. Medium brightness hurts my eyes in darker environment. The only time I crank it up to medium is when I'm outside. Sometimes I'm even on low outside if it's not too light. I never think I will use the highest brightness setting.

blah blah blah....sorry, but you are not representative for 99% of all users. Nice for YOU that YOU prefer low brightness. But most of us users like at least medium brightness in darker areas because the AMOLED contrast and colours are bad and washed out when in low brightness mode. I want to decide myself if i have the button lights on/off with medium or bright display settings.
Finally this "update" is a reason for me not to buy the lumia 800...shame on nokia!

Neither are you.
Did I say you have to use what I use? No. I simply stated my personal preference. No need to jump all over me. Calm down.
Have you guys tried Auto brightness?
It goes all the way to minimum brightness if you use the phone in the dark.
The bottom buttons are lit up too.
I tried out the auto brightness for the first time today. Seems to work well. It places itself in between low/mid brightness in an ordinary lit room which is fine for me. And as you say the bottom buttons are always lit even if the brightness goes up to full strenght.
Think I'm gonna use auto brightness a bit more and see if it behaves good at all times.
Iam not sure if any of the one x+ owners out there have experienced this problem. When watching a video, for example using the YouTube app, depending of the type of scene being shown, whether it be an indoor or an outdoor scene, the phone has this gradual change of the the screen brightness level. Now mind you, the display brightness is set to about 15 to 20% and auto brightness is off. Its noticeable as the phone seems to take a second or two to adjust to the new environment within the video.
The dimming issue is also noticeable using the browser, especially when viewing a very dark image and then switch over to a bright one. The phone dims a little when you display the dark image and as you transition to the brighter image it will slowly brighten a little.
This problem can become distracting especially when watching videos that have a lot of transitions between light and dark scenes.
Its less noticeable at brightness levels above 60 to 70%, but i find using the phone at such high brightness level at night irritating to the eyes.
Its annoying since the screen doesn't stay on one consistent brightness level. all the phones i have used before, S3, EVO 3D, S2, NOTE don't show this problem. it doesn't matter what scene is being displayed on the phone, they all maintained constant brightness levels
I would be interested to know if its just my phone that does this or its common issue
So many views but not even one reply...surely i cannot be the only one who noticed this
Hi Guys!
I wanted to know if the screen, if set to its maximum brightness can be used as a sort of flashlight in a dark room? The reason is that, while I might not miss the led light for the camera, I do find having an LED as a flashlight EXTREMELY useful. Specifically, how far is the reach of the brightness of the screen (i.e. in meters or in feet)?
I'm going to buy a new phone and am deciding between the Z ultra and the Z1.
Thanks and kudos!
It's fairly bright if you disable "adapt to lighting conditions" and open a blank page in Chrome. I used to use my old iPhone's (first gen.) screen as a flashlight (it didn't have a flash), and it worked very well

Yeah it will work fine. Comparable to other smartphones. (larger screen, more lighting produced)
It will however depend on your night vision. So if you've been asleep for say 20-30 mins, (the time it takes for your vision to adjust to night) then using the screen will look very bright. But going from a well light environment and then using the screen in a dark room, wont really help much. That's just night vision for ya!
to compare with my one x its not as bright and for me no I can't use it as a flashlight.
I always have to use maximum brightness when going outdoor

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Essential Phone's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The brightness is fine. It's not as good as the galaxy s8 but def better than HTC10 or honor 8\ p9. I watched basketball on it the other day and it was great.
light can be set to very dimmed but the color contrast is still vivd. Good!
I have the Pixel 2 and the Essential. I think the Essential gets brighter. Very satisfied on that front.
This phone is more bright then most people think because some people don't turn off the adaptive screen option when they want to maximize the brightness. It makes a huge different without that option.

True. Having this feature turned on by default should be punished to life in prison.
I mean you make the screen the highlight of the phone, and then nerf is by default??? WTF
It's ok, but not excellent.
I rate it approximately equal to most other devices in full sunlight outdoors. You will want to shade it with your body but, having done so, it's acceptable.

Apart from what I saw in video reviews the odor visibility is surprisingly good. I live where we have sun most of the day and temperatures are high (30c+) and I still can operate the phone even in direct sun light.
Is it really that bad outdoors as people say?

Not at all..
Trust me contrast ratio makes up for it and is not half bad.
I can totally see it in bright days with the Sun shining to it's glory.
In oreo with 25% of display brightness it was brighter than pie

Yeah Pie the brightness is very dim compared to Oreo
After the Pie update the Brightness its not bright anymore
Same here. To get the 30% brightness I had on Oreo, I have to go for 70% brightness on Pie. It feels awful
Adaptive brightness
I expected with the release of pie the auto brightness to be fixed . It is better than before but man not useful at all. Mostly keeps dimming the screen and makes it difficult to see. Also when i use slider and increase it, dims again after few seconds. What is the use of adaptive brightness then if it can`t understand my needs.

If you have polarised sun glasses and you want to use navigation with your phone... it is not possible. You cannot see the phone display with polarised sunglases!
