W200 Screensaver Brightness

Just setup the w200 and I’m loving it, however the screensaver is too dim to easily read from across the room. I’ve disable auto brightness and set it to 100%. The main screen looks great but as soon as the screensaver activates it drops to a level where again it’s hard to make out from a few feet away. Is this expected behavior? Am I missing a setting to correct this?

It’s OLED so you have burn-in issues with a static image that is too bright. One big downfall of the W200.

Hopefully they release a new thermostat with LCD like every other thermostat (Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell, etc) uses; there is a reason for that when displaying near-static images all day, which a thermostat does.

I get why OLED is better display tech generally, but not for this application.

In the new version, we will better optimize this issue through software improvements. Stay tuned — the estimated timeline is September.
