can you put a dinner plate on it and still be able to read the display?

Absolutely you can, the platform (without covering the LED screen) has a size of 7.2" by 6" , it is good enough to be placed a container on it. After your put a container such as a dinner plate on the platform, you may touch the TARE key (the right hand side key) to reset the weight to 0, then you are ready to weight anything in the container. The result display will be the actual weight of the things in the container.

I think it will entirely depend on the size and shape of your dinner plates. The bed of the scale is quite large and it's well-balanced. I've had no issue with a variety of different plates and containers.

No, a standard round dinner plate won't fit. It doesn't show so well in the photo, but it's actually oval in design.

You can, however, it's not the best condition. You may have to adjust your screen bightness.

I think it absolutely can. There is an option to get the display case for that purpose.

Yes you can, I use it primarily for this and it works very well. It takes less than 8 seconds to get a stable reading.

In my opinion yes you could but it would be kind of flimsy if you did that. The screen is very light

I have been working with 3 people who have used this. They bought/placed a designated TV on a table and keep the TV connected to the ezRead. When they want to read something they bring the item to the table.

The area displaying the numbers is 3/4" high by 1 1/2" wide. It's very readable. The surface area for measuring is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". As long as the item being weighed does not exceed that, i.e. a 9" dinner plate or such that would cover up the display, you should have no problem. I love this little scale!

Not unless you press them. Actually I don't think so at all. But the screen above lights up so you can read it and there are two lights under the microwave.

Yep. The readout is placed so it can easily be read. THere's also a function that freezes the readout so you can weigh the box, remove it, and then see the weight. You could do a loit worse than this scale. Best, JRD

Yes. I have no problem reading license plates. Just make sure you have tour camera lined to the area you want to see.And watch the distance so you can read clear.

They don't stick, so you would have to find a way to make them stay in front of the screen. But yes, you can put them in front of anything to read.

No, the LCD display is too fragile. Mine broke when trying to remove the old glass

I think you can do that, but there might be a slight lag between your button presses and the display.I am not 100% sure about if it would work though, because I have never tried using it without the TV. But because of the way it connects it seems like it would work.

This is a gift for my mom for Christmas; so I don't have access to it to know for sure. I guess you could display plates on it. I believe it would be too small for 2 plates and will have room to spare with 1 plate.

Yes it can if you set up the display screen the way you want it. Display is configurable to your likings. Just press and hold for a second on the area you want configured on the screen and a drop down menu will appear then select what you want to be dispalyed. I hope this answers your question.

I can read street signs when I tested it in a moving vehicle. Never tried license plates but imagine you could read them with good conditions - zoom, distance, lighting.
