He did say "minor annoyance". If it's anything like the green power indicator on my Sony FW, it won't bother me, but, yes, it is bright. On the Sony FW, there's a bright one on the end of the hinge, and a lit green circle on the hinge itself. You can certainly point the end hinge away from the bed, but the circle one will still be visible unless you put it to sleep. I think it turns yellow when it's sleeping. I don't know yet if the one on the TT is the same as that or not.
