Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) users complain display is too dim, Google promises fix
Google’s brand-new Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) has been gathering some attention, but not all of it is positive. Early buyers are reporting that the display is too dim, making it hard to read, especially in low-light conditions.
The complaints are piling up on Amazon, with several negative reviews specifically mentioning the dim display. It seems the culprit is the thermostat’s auto-brightness feature, which adjusts the display brightness based on the ambient light in the room. While this is a convenient feature, it’s clearly not working as intended, as users are finding it too dim even in well-lit rooms.
The problem is compounded by the fact that, unlike previous Nest thermostats, there’s no manual brightness control on the 4th gen model.
