Help Normal Display battery usage %?

On my old Captivate, I don't recall my Display eating up so much battery. My phone has been off the charger for 16 hours. After 2 hours of Display time, it is 52% of the battery usage.

I have brightness on lowest all the time, no haptic feedback. Mostly black background.

Is it just me or t hat's a bit high?

That is pretty decent for 16 hours with 2 hours of dispay. Also depends on your wifi settings, network setting and signal, apps and widgets auto-update, etc.

My average is about 20 hours with moderate use. I usually try to remember to charge it every night tho. My wifi, gps, and bluetooth are almost always on and I have a few widgets and email that do checks every hour or so.
 
I hit much longer on my previous phone. Used to have maybe 60% left when I got home. 3-3 1/2 Hours display, 20 hours on. But yeah, I charge every night regardless.

Now I use my phone in Edge only since my 3G signal in the office isn't too great.
