right? is it just me or is the iPad 1 WAY too bright? it never goes above the lowest setting and I constantly find myself checking to see if i can turn it lower. at night it is almost unbearable.

has this been addressed in iPad 2?




I highly recommend the sepia setting in iBooks and the Kindle reader, which brings the color temperature closer to paper. Just like f.lux, it looks strange at first, but soon the screen looks harsh without it.

However, I'm guessing you're not using one of those apps, because they also have custom full-range brightness controls. The standard control starts at bright and just gets brighter.


I feel the same way about my iPhone. One of the biggest reasons I jailbreak is so I can lower the brightness below the amount settings will allow.


The ebook reader allows you to dim much further, so it is possi le.
