Does the monitor dim in brightness well for low-light situations?

I think so... I use it in an office that is really bright and also has a window behind me that reflects the light... I never sat in the dark... but you can adjust the brightness... So, not really of any help...

I believe there are three digital display settings, and the darkest one is off. But I haven't tried that because I want to see the time in the morning. I have it on dim and it's great.

There are 5 brightness settings, and the lowest one is moderately dim in a dark room

Yes it does...there is a brightness adjustment in the settings menu. You can adjust the brightness for active, inactive and off. The adjustment works....but I wish there was something halfway between the lowest setting and off.

Nope, it is still plenty bright. I'm using my macbook pro to answer this and looking at the backlight, it is fine. It's clear, so it doesn't really obscure anything.

I use it in a room with windows as well (partially lit at daylight, through curtains). Currently set at brightness -3 to -6 in eco mode for a use at night (i.e. I quite reduce the light output voluntarily) so I would say yes it is bright enough if your windows have some curtains or else to cut the light in.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

Yes it does but be aware that the monitor is very primitive and hard to view in dim light.

Nope. only the sensitivity does. if you do not want the led too bright, try fixing it facing up rather than shining on your floor board.

Yes! Remarkably well! Of course, pay attention to the "day" "night" "stars", etc settings. For most purposes, you'll want to keep the "low light" setting on.

I dim the light on my screen. This makes viewing from side angles difficult.You might try that, I haven't had any problems.

No. It's pretty dim but still bothersome to me. I turned mine facing away from the bed. That helps but then you have to reach over it or spin it around in morning. It's pretty big though.

This monitor has a matte finish on the screen, so the glare is minimal, even in very bright conditions. However, as with all monitors, it's best to not have a bright light source directly behind it, particularly the sun. I use this in a room that gets really bright afternoon sun, and the screen shows just fine. The wall on which this monitor is located is perpendicular to the wall with the window, so the sun does not actually hit the screen. For your use, this monitor will be more than sufficient.

it does, but it destroys the contrast ratio so you cannot see the lighter color. everything looks dark when you dim the brightness. what i do is normal brightness and wear sunglasses.

I can't answer that question right now. I do know that my unit is dark and does not emit any disturbing display light whatsoever.

Yes. Actually there is only a dimmer switch. It's a round knob to turn it to your desired brightness.

I've had this for about a year and I'm happy with it, no burn-ins so far. Note that the brightness and the input source are the only adjustments. There are no contrast or color profile adjustments built into the monitor. This is not an issue for me but wanted to point it out.
