Brightness question

[Sambo110]

I have my brightness a little less then half, if I made it full, would I lose that much battery life?

It definitely will.

BTW do you find the auto-brightness features work well? Let's say I bring it from a dark room to a well-lit room. It took a long time for the brightness to change.

I don't use auto brightness, cause that wastes battery. So how much battery would I lose?

[D.Sync]

I think I can't answer that question. Haven't research much about battery usage though.

Wow this made me realize something... Auto Brightness would actually drain battery life and Auto Brightness is VERY slow... O____. I'm turning that off!

[spmwinkel]

So did I, just now.

Never really noticed anything with Auto-Brightness, except that every once in a while, it did something.

I just have mine constantly set at like 15-20%. Can see everything fine except when outside in sunlight.

I personally keep my brightness completely off, except when outside. Get great battery life, except with detailed games. Even then I get 4-5 hours.

I usually keep my brightness on at about 25% at night and 45% throughout the day. Once in a while, I'll plug the cable into my iPod, turn brightness up 100% and play some games with high quality graphics.

Once you pop open a game, doesn't that turn your brightness all the way up anyway? Or does that only happen when you have the "auto" mode on?
