iPad Air - What brightness level

[WilliamG]

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.

Agreed.

I set my brightness between 0% & 50% with auto brightness on when indoors. It depends on the amount of ambient light. For typical indoor use I think 100% brightness is overkill in most situations there are exceptions tho.

I've always run my iPads at 30-40% auto. Plenty bright without sacrificing too much on the black level overall. If I am in direct sunlight using it, I'll run it higher, but I don't really use it in direct sunlight very often.

Same here. The Air is blindingly bright for me if I go much higher. That's fine, because my battery lasts forever!

Depends on what I am doing or where I am. Sitting here in an airport right now, it's on the lowest possible.

25% at home. Full tilt if I'm outdoors.

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.

iOS 7 is very "white and bright". Going to settings/general/ accessibility / increase contrast helps. I'm keeping my iphone and iPad about 40% fixed...

Maybe I have poor or sensitive eyes my iPhone and iPad are usually 50% brightness or less.

I crank it right up whenever I feel like as the battery is more than capable of coping with it.

Only use it low when I'm in a completely dark room, the rest of the time life's too short not to show that screen off!
