  • Owners of the fourth-generation Nest Learning Thermostat are complaining about the brightness of the display.
  • Users have noticed that the thermostat becomes very dim when the room is dark.
  • The brightness can’t be changed by the user, unlike with earlier models.

Earlier this month, Google launched the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen). The new smart home product has now landed in the hands of early buyers. While the device improves on a number of factors, there’s one area that owners aren’t too happy with — the display brightness.

The folks over at 9to5Google have noticed a common complaint among Amazon shoppers about the new Nest Thermostat. It appears many of the negative reviews on Amazon point out that the display is far too dim when the room is dark. So it sounds as if you’ll have a hard time seeing anything when nighttime rolls around. At the same time, it appears the display may also be a bit too dim when the lights are on.
