MY point of view is at least your blank space should really close to what white paper looks like, is that criteria reasonable?inlimbo said:Just looking now... I have it on about half way. I don't see why you need it any more than that. Just a nice subtle glow

YS2003 said:I keep all of my notebook computers' backlight to 20% to 30% setting to increase the longevity of the back light life. I think the typical back light will last 60,000 hours if you keep using it at 50% brightness.
For my two Al PBs, I will use them as clamshell mode with ACD screens, when I am at home. So, those two screens will last years (it should outlive the rest of components on PB).

law guy said:That's 6.4 years, assuming the PB is on 24 hrs a day. I don't have my PB screen up 24 hrs a day so even if I get 30,000 hrs maxed at a few hours a day, if wasn't obsolete it seems I could use it for decades. Let's assume 4 hrs use a day - that will last me 7,500 days (assuming 30,000 hrs at max bright) - that's 20.5 years of maxed backlight use!
The screen on my blueberry iBook is really, really dim (even after warming up.) I can tell you, it kills the experience Replacing it would cost a stupid amount of money.MacTruck said:Check out the brains on Law Guy.

MacTruck said:I see. Isn't it time to replace that ibook with a new one though?
5300cs said:No, I already have another, newer, iBook. It's a G3, too, which is still a perfectly useable chip.
