In the dark 1/5th the top corner from the 2nd display down the phone is lit and bleeding light. Woke up to check time, for the first time last night and thought "oh the screen cracked?!"
LG V10
I had a similar experience with the guy above and i felt it is great to put the phone face down even though it doesnt really bother me with second screen being always up. However, i think the phone gets too dark on lowest brightness for me to read or view videos so i am not sure if that is good or not. I guesd i have to use apps to adjust the lowest brightness to be brighter LOL(First world problem).
Never turned down that much ... but good enough the one time I used it.
On my HTC M8, I had to use Screen Filter to reduce the brightness when using the phone in complete darkness. On the V10 I don't need that app, the minimum brightness is low enough for night use.
Minimum brightness is a tad to bright for me. As is automatic brightness in general. It worked for me on Galaxy S5, but now I manually adjust it as automatic is just to bright!

I've seen many Youtube Note videos with max brightness (some about e-reading), but almost none with the lowest brightness setting.
So, what do you think of reading at night with the Note, with low or no exterior light? Are white letters on black blackground too bright that becomes unconfortable?
What is your experience with apps like screen filter?
Those who come from HTC phones, do you find Note's screen more stressful to your eyes?
I've owned htc and sony phones and the Note's screen is very vibrant and great for night reading. Even on the low brightness in a dark room, you won't have trouble to read unless you have a bad eye sight.
Only people who are used to smaller screens or have pain in the eye will find the night usage painful for their sight. I use it every night before sleeping - no complains so far.
My fear is that Note will be too vibrant and brightfull and will strain my eyes.
For instance, I prefer reading at night with my HD2 than with my Asus Transformer, because it has a lower brightness level.
I don't know about you but I've also own a HD2 and I found the amoled screen very pleasant compare to every htc phones. The brightness can be toggle to suit you. But it's better that you test before in a shop if you are afraid.
There's an app called screen filter on market where you can lower the brightness until the letters are almost invisible. Great for night time reading!

I use it on my HD2, but I've read here that Note's screen doesn't deal well with it and the image becomes greyish

Yep, I find it easy to read at night but only with screen filter. Must have app.
It is pretty bright at night, even with white text on a black background, but no problem if you use Screen Filter or one of the other several similar apps to dim it further. I have toggles on my home screen for several different filter levels for different purposes. Also, I use the night-vision mode that comes with Chainfire3D to turn it to red text on a black background, for even better night time reading.
With Fbreader you can just change the color of the text to something closer to black and have night mode with the lowest brightness setting on. Voila! Very clear and easy to read in pitch dark.
.....
My experience is a little different to others in the thread.
I also come from using an HD2 and to me, reading at night is a weakness for the Note. Even with saturation and contrast adjusted, the pentile display really stands out to me when you're (a) in a dark room and (b) holding the Note quite close to your eyes.
Both these are true when I'm reading. It's not particularly uncomfortable but just a bit annoying.
Could you detail further the 'pentile experience'? You see pixels or 'grain'?
I've had lots of other phones and can with certainty say that I've never had a book reader as good as my beloved Note. Pentile or not.

I can see the separation between the pixels as I tend to hold it quite close on a low brightness when reading. It doesn't make it any more difficult to read, and of course the resolution outweighs that negative, but it just makes it look a little bit less perfect.
I am using Screendim application and it works much better than screen filter. There is Screendim trial just for three days.
Amoled screen cannot be made lower brightness than the default so it must be using contrast features to make it dimmer.
I have to say that reading is the primary reason why I bought the Note. I read a lot of ebooks. I find the Note to be a perfect size for reading at night in bed.
I have never found the brightness an issue... What u need is a good reading app. Thats what makes the difference.
I use Moon Reader Pro and epubeader (free on the Market and can also read .mobi). Both these programs have the ability to change the text color and background and brightness.
I find that black background with pale grey/blue text is the easiest to read while conserving most battery power.
For me, Note is amazing, and if talking about brightness, it can auto-adjust itself.
I agree with documents transformed to pure black backgrounds and maybe 10% black to white text color is perfect for the eye, so you can almost fall asleep while your phone saves battery.
For some reason ScreenFilter worked better on my S2 than it does on the Note. Using ScreenFilter just makes the picture look bad... washed out and difficult to read. I wish my Note could have lower brightness on the lowest setting.
Maybe Samsung doesn't want to go lower to avoid showing imperfections.

I find it better if you use the Voodoo screen tuning app - worth trying

Use screen filter
Never even considered minimum brightness setting mattered, everybody always concerned about outdoor viewing, but for the first time ever, i had someone yell to turn off my phone at the theater the other night, so yeah, this phone stays bright, and apparently pisses off movie goers.
Agreed... the min brightness is still bright lol ... i recommend Twilight app ... you can also reduce the blue light to somehow help with your sleep.
FYI, if you're rooted, you can use Tasker (or others) to set the screen brightness a good bit lower. Actually controls the hardware, rather than using an overlay. If anyone's interested, I'll post instructions.
Can you post please? Thanks much!

Comparing it side by side with my Note 7 (awaiting return box) It's significantly brighter at minimum brightness setting. Easily readable in a well lit room which is way too bright in my opinion.

I noticed last night that it doesn't get as film as ma V10, but it does get much brighter. I do wish it would dim more.

The screen at 0% is a good bit brighter than my GS7 Edge was, but i knew that was going to happen coming to an LCD screen from an Amoled.
I remember the moto x pure had a mod that would allow 0 to be much darker.. i need that on this phone. it's way too bright. needed root though.

Just use Lux software. It can dim it as low as you want.

If you're unrooted this is a big battery drain. Lux throws on what is essentially a screen filter, and since it's not at a system level it's constantly using extra resources to keep it afloat.
I agree though, this screen is way too bright even on the lowest setting
0% is too bright in bed. Lg needs to lower this
Anyone else experiencing wonky auto-brightness too? Sometimes ill lay on the couch during the DAY and it lowers itself to 0%, and other times when im in bed at night with all the lights off, and the damn thing will be at 30% ..?

You've got no idea how bright my previous G Flex 2's 0% brightness. It nearly blind my eyes in the dark.
Seriously, G Flex 2's 0% is like 30% or 40% in V20. So, I'm quite happy with V20's brightness in the dark.
Dimmest setting is still too bright on my lg v20. Had to install and use Lux yet again to make it dimmer. I thought there would be no need for Lux app in year 2017 but i was wrong.

Have been noticing this behavior for past few days. Can't tell if it's software related ie. App that's causing it vs. The rom software change due to app causing it.
I wanted to do a full recovery and see how my phone behaves.
Have you done a full recovery yet?
Way too bright.. I had considered installing Twilight, and then I found Dimmer, which is open source and only like 400kb. (F Droid - couldn't be happier)

Minimum brightens is so low that you even in complete dark will set it to 5% not all the way down.
Sent from my Mi Note 3 using Tapatalk
Minimal brightness is too low for me. It is about 5-6% /sys/class./leds/lcd-... - 227/4095. Will try to change minimal value./
With auto-brightness mode it goes down(to 5%) when I change phone position from horizontally to perpendicularly.
Miui Eu 9.5.4 stable.
It's hard to see details at minimum brightness, so as comments above I set the brightness about 5%.
Though minimum brightness is very good for readers. Especially for manga readers.
Too low for my taste....

Here system shows the actual value of brightness - cannot be changed.
System can learn - will remember your preferences till next restart.
It is good enough!

Hey guys, so how's the minimum brightness of the Mi Max 3? I'm thinking of picking one up and I'd like to be able to use the Mi Max 3 in the dark without blinding myself. I can't seem to find info about minimum brightness anywhere so I thought I'd revive this thread to hopefully get some answers. Thanks in advance!

Minimum brightness is very low in brightness. No problem at all reading in the dark.
If the screen is to bright I usually start this app and turn it down to 15
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/giraffine.dimmer/
Very useful at the cinema or airplane where you have a lot of people around you and you don't want to disturb them.
Or get blinded by a phone that has a very bright screen even at the lowest setting like my Togari had I turned this app on before going to bed when I had that phone.
Otherwise it was like getting scorched by the sun when looking at the clock or adding a note that I forgot before falling asleep!
