New iPad - Minimum brightness level?

[57004]

Just wondering to anyone who has the new iPad - Could you please compare the minimum brightness level to the iPad 1 or 2?

I'm hoping you can turn it down a bit more than the iPad 2 (and 1) screen. I find it way too bright at night when I'm reading something with a white background.

I know some apps have their own extra brightness control and I personally use a jailbreak fix to make the colours darker to extend the brightness range. But it would be great if it would do it on its own now Especially as there probably won't be a jailbreak for a while.

Click the home button three tiems and the background color reverses for night use!

On the iPad 2 its an option you set in Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click-the-Home-Button.

FWIW, I could always go a little bit darker than the System Minimum by using the brightness slider in iBooks.

I know about the inverse but it's not very nice to read, I just want it darker Overwise all pictures are negative.

There's an app that just puts a grey overlay over the screen, unfortunately it requires a jailbreak.

I'd really appreciate some comments from an iPad 3 owner!

It's always dismayed me that "White on Black" is just a negative image.

I LOVE the looks of the text of White On Black but HATE that it makes a negative of all images. (icons included)

The iPad (3rd generation)'s minimum brightness settings drastically darker than the orginal iPad. I imagine it's an unexpected side effect of how much more light they have to push through the retina display to reach the same maximum brightness, but it sure is a lot nicer for nighttime reading
