No. There are two LEDs that can be turned on but they reflect off the glass. The exposure setting can be boosted +2 so night scenes are brighter but day time is not too bright.

Yes, it is bright. . . like sunlight. I use it to see my knitting and sewing projects more clearly.

In a room under daylight without additional lighting the video is average. In dim light or darkness, the video can be marginal.

Its a real mirror. During the day you wont even notice the lcd. It will just look like a mirror.

Yes - I have found it depends on the color you choose. Overall I have found a few color combinations that allow me to see the display in daylight. I love this unit! It has everything and is well designed. My only complaint is the songs from radio are not displayed (title/artist)

The display as well as the mirror in general is darker than the GENTEX OEM mirror I have in another car, but it does the job. I don't have a daytime photo, so here's a picture of it in the dark (right after installation): http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb282/tk1971/DSC_1240_zpsa7eaeffd.jpg

It can be difficult if the sun is shining right on it. But it's no different than any other viewing screen outside in daylight. It's not any worse than other digital camera viewing screens.

The light is not real bright, but I've never found any of the lighted mirrors to be real bright, which is Ok for me as my main requirement for mirror use is the magnification.

Yes. It's bright enough to see during the day but has 10 levels so it doesn't kill your night vision.

I do see some reflection but not much. It is not enough to interfere with the picture even if I shine a bright flashlight directly on the screen. I can see the flashlight but it is pretty dim. It does have a matte screen.

It's bright enough to see but not obnoxiously bright. You can change the level of brightness as well. My son loves his.

It is not very bright except right at the edges. So you have to have it in a well-lit area to be functional but then your face casts shadows in the middle. But if you are looking at a part of your face that's near the lit edges, then it's good. Overall I like the mirror, mostly for it's compact design (easy to pack and move around) and extreme magnification, but the dim lighting in the middle is a negative.

The seller is very good and prompt. The mirror during the day is not very effective as the display is not very bright. In the night, mirror is very effective. This mirror records composite video as well as individual video.

There are lights and an LCD display at the top. They don't look bright but I only sue mine during the day. I'd the lights are too bright they could easily be covered with black tape but I don't think they'd be a problem unless you like a pitch black room.

Yes, you can see the screen in bright sun light pretty good - just tried it for you today.
