Default POLL!: Brightness Level? - 01-11-2009, 02:55 AM

i use my mini allways on level 0 (0-lowest, 15-max). is not a saving battery purpose, but is just a matter of getting used to it i think. level 2 is too bright for me 5 minutes after using level 0, level 15 just burn my beautiful brown eyes :lol:

i had only 10 options, choose the closest down

Depends on ambient light really, but usually I just push it all the way up.

What next a volume setting poll?

Please don't let it degrade to that.

it is not a trivial question, the difference between level 0 and level 15 is 20% more battery life, is that fair enough for you?

Your math is way off. If you told me it gave 20 minutes more, I'd find that hard to believe, 20%.. Yeah, not buying that at all. Assuming a modest run time of 3 hours, 20% more life would be 36 minutes. Your math gets even fuzzier at 4 hours.
Our screen is LED backlit, LED's are HUGELY power efficient. Time to stop the FUD.
