What sense does "Backlight Timeout" make?

I mean I configured 15 seconds, but while cycling, the light goes on and off when it gets darker or brighter. Wouldn't it be more useful 15 seconds only if something happened at all? Otherwise you could configure it to be "always on".

According to my taste, the display regulates too much. There is no need for a backlight for a small shadow during the day. Probably can't configure that either. :-(

15sec is the time backlight stays on when you configure the 830 in any way... etc

During rides in daylight simply switch from AUTO to 0 brightness. Then the backlight is off completely everywhere.

Thanks. I know the setting backlight = 0. It's ok, but an intelligent light sensor would be better:

Why is the sensor not intelligent. Set the value to zero, then switch on Auto and the sensor regulates the whole range from zero to full brightness depending on the conditions.

It is not intelligent because you cannot adjust the sensitivity. I just find it too bright. And either I live with it or turn off the light sensor. This works on my Android smartphone.
