iPad Air - What brightness level

[MrGimper]

Just curious what Air users have their brightness level set at.

I have mine at about 40%

 

[brn2ski00]

usually around 75% - I like it bright. however, I don't really feel that the panel itself is as bright as my iPhone 4s or other iPads in the past.

Depends on the ambient light and what I'm doing. I would never choose one setting and stick with it always.

40-50% normally but adjust it according to ambient.

Like that with one swipe I can adjust anytime.

Air is good!

At home I usually run it at about 20-25%. The ambient light in my house is low though, so even 20%~ seems quite bright to me.

 

[DMoggo]

Anyone use auto brightness?

 

[mpayne2k]

I typically go between 25-40% for most use, in brighter settings I go up to 70-75%. Battery doesn't seem to take too drastic of a hit with higher settings.

I ended up putting mine around 50%. I turned it all the way up to see what that would look like- Geez, about blinded me. That thing can get really bright, lol.

 

[Zepaw]

Every device of mine is at 100% unless I'm in a particularly dark setting.

 

[arbogast777]

About 80% on all my devices, always.

 

[rgarjr]

i almost never go more than 50% on my pad

 

[s2mikey]

35% to 40% seems to be my normal range at home. Haven't had it out yet, just got it tonight.

 

[wxman2003]

About 80% on all my devices, always.

Same here.

At night I have it set all the way down. During the day its at about 60%.

im keeping mine about 20% with auto on. no idea how you guys are using 80-100% cause it will burn the retina out of your eyes

My buddy showed me something on his phone the other day and he had it at full brightness, it nearly blinded me!

I probably use it at 40-50% most of the time.

 

[Mikekan]

When I am indoors around 50%, except when I am in a dark room.

So THAT'S why they call it a Retina Display!

I agree with you -- my display is almost never over 50% on any of my devices.

 

[eggersj]

I go 75% on both IPA and IP5...

 

[rui no onna]

0-30% indoors depending on ambient lighting. 50-100% when out in bright sunlight.

I agree. The only time mine is ever at 100% is if i'm outside in direct sunlight.

100% indoors is overkill, though it does look nice at the Apple store.

It's usually 25-40% in regular indoor conditions.

 

[Zmanbaseball2]

When I am inside on my iPad 1, soon to be an iPad Air, it is on 25-40% but when outside or looking at pictures I turn it up. I like that I can do it quickly in control center now.

Same here. Plenty bright and the battery lasts all day!! Amazing!

100%, why not? I don't need to save battery like I do on my iPhone.
