Set to Auto it doesn't actually go to the minimum in a dark room. Kind of annoying.
It does fair, but I haven't found any phone that gets as dim as I want in a dark room. I use night owl to further dim the screen.
I had the G7 briefly, it had terrible brightness. Lower than preferable in lit rooms. the V40 is just right, I think.
The LG V40 goes a bit darker then the V30. So improvement there. For me its dark enough.
Comfort view and manual slide does just fine by me.
Found a review that has some more exact measurements:
https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v40-thinq-display-review/
At its dimmest, the LG V40 ThinQ can go as low as 2.3 nits, which puts it around the same minimum brightness as most Androids OLEDs. Apple’s latest OLED displays, however, measure down to 1.8 nits, which noticeably appears a tad dimmer (by about 12%).

My Z2 force brightness slider will not change from 35% and lower, the brightness will keep the same. I don't like it.
The minimum brightness still so strong that hurts when you want to use your phone at night or in a very dark room
Minimum brightness is perceivably higher than that of my Le Pro 3. So, I installed Pixel Filter, since my LG Flex 2's OLED had the same issue.

im pretty sure that is because you have adaptive brightness on/selected. turn that off and your slider will (should) go lower

hey this is my daily phone and i installed "screen filter' by haxor industry. be careful because the screen will go completely black if you go low enough you wont be able to see your screen and have to do a factory reset. i have my screen set at 32.6%..what i hate though is the fact that you can NOT dim the notification drawer (bar at top w/ time etc.) or the 3 control buttons at the bottom. hope this helps

Pixel filter is definitely the best solution I've found for this. It works especially well if you use the Motorola one button nav.

I think is adequate
It does get REALLY low. Anyone know in nits the lowest it does get?
White backgrounds
On a related note, why does Google insist on continuing with white backgrounds for Android and all their apps??
OLED + black backgrounds = huge battery saving!!
It will also burn your retinas less when reading XDA in bed. :laugh:

I actually don't think it gets dim enough. Very nice to have blue light affect come from the factory, though. On the Note 3, I used Easy Eyes app and then combined it with Screen Dimmer app's widget and they would stack. I had to do the app-boosted dimming in that order or it wasn't right. I could get it so dark that colours with any hint of darkness would just drag or scrape--you had to see it.
Tonight I'm testing the Note 8 under dark conditions. I'm pretty confident I'll be adding dimmer apps.
And I remember reading organic LEDs being power saving with black pixels is not true. Never much cared I guess since you badasses have battery boosting genius for all to enjoy!
I agree even their email apps

4.5/10. Still quite bright relatively to the room, but that's due to its 15cm x8cm size. Nearly phablet sized.
Source: I work for a telecoms company and am using the P20 Pro right now as a marketing sample.
I really love the phones size and shape it's perfect. The battery life seems to be rather good as well. The large screen does help out a lot!
The Minimum brightness level is fine and does the job! I've been able to read very well at night in bed... In fact, I was watching a movie the other day on my device.
Most builtin minimum brightness are to bright in my experience as well this is
But using a third party app when needed fixes that ?

Yeah, I've heard about the third party apps but never tried it. I've always found it to be good enough.
I do use an app to lower my minimum brightness on my Macbook Air because well that's just too damn bright lol. My phone however is fine.
Minimum brightness is fine for me. Others have said it's a bit too bright, but when you use the eye comfort mode, you'll have no issues.

Minimum brightness is good for me, but automatic brightness doesn't work well under dark conditions.
I hope for a fix in the next update.

I agree the automatic brightness adjustment is not doing well. I suspect it is looking at my face with the front camera, and notices the screen light on my face, thinking the environment is bright, thus the screen must be brighter. A feedback-loop. Not sure that is what is happening but I can confirm the brightness keeps adjusting way too often and in way to big steps.
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

So far my outside use of the phone has been good
It's fine, its not the brightest screen on the market. But fine for normal use.
My S20 FE 5G is really less bright outdoors than my Oneplus 8T
I was hoping this phone would be bright enough for outdoor use, but its just as crap as my S7.
Brutal compared to my previous Note 9. The things you take for granted.
Unfortunately, in indoor auto-brightness tends to maximize value, while in outside without switching to a light theme it is difficult to read information.
It's worse than my last Moto Z Play. That says something. On top of it, the battery drains too much when not using.

Exactly! Indoor it goes to the max, but outdoor it's pretty dim.
But turning off dark mode mostly helps.
