On my PW2, the lowest setting is VERY dark. Like I can barely make out letters when I am under the covers in my bedroom at night dark.

With eye straining effort I can read at level 4 in the dark and have to go up to 6 to read in semi-comfort.

So while in theory they backlight never goes off, in practice, the lowest level is minimal lighting. Certainly you will never be able to tell under even dim light that it is on.
