I must have worded it wrong. Its the contrast. You have to hold it at the right angle to see the screen just right. Other than that minor thing I love it

Mine has been a little dicey lately, I think I am going to trade mine in for a pricier model. It sometimes doesn't display correctly.

Once you install the stereo, you have to go into the settings and take it off of display mode. That should take care of the problem for ya.

There is an on/off switch on the back of the monitor directly next to where the power chord is plugged in. It isn't patently obvious, so I thought I would offer this as a troubleshooting suggestion. If this doesn't help, let me know.

That hasn't happened to me, but I assume it's either something wrong with the display unit, which has all the circuitry behind it, or there is something wrong with the wiring that's going out to the external sensor. Check to see the wiring and connections at both ends are good to rule out the easy fix of just reconnecting everything well.

I have not had this problem- It may be a defect. I would exchange for a new one and see if you encounter the same problem!

We had problems with the screen when we got our unit - It was unusable. Clearly their quality control is lacking. I would suggest you return it. They will offer part credit, but if you insist, you can get full credit.

I had the same issue. The problem was caused by color bleeds of Cleartype anti-aliasing of screen fonts, amplified by the monitor's higher saturation. I was able to reduce the issue by fine-tuning the hell out of Cleartype (to minimize blue/orange bleeds) and calibrating the monitor using color calibration device and software.

If its the actual screen that is messed up it may not be repairable. There is not alot of adjustment that can be made with the display. If you havnt had it to long i would see about sending it back.

Oh, mine did the missing display dance just a few days ago. Turning it upside down, exercising the buttons at each contact point, and then returning it yo the proper orientation got it working again. Just a thought.

Turn the divider upside down from current. The little tab or foot on the divider should be on the bottom. This should fix it! I had the same issue!!!

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

Your display should have a blue background and should be super easy to read. Perhaps try replacing the battery and if that doesn't work, I'd request an exchange.

When I replaced mine, the screen wold not rotate when it was turned on the side. Had to go into the settings and turn it back on so it would work.I also had to adjust the brightness settings. Hope this help.

Make sure your setting is showing a number on each display window-accomplish this by turning the knobs, if you don't set it on a number it will not stay down. Other than that I have no clue for repairs !

Try the Fn key (bottom left keyboard) & monitor switch key up (top left keyboard) at the same time see what happens? If not you might have a defective screen.

The backlight part of the display does not stay on when the unit is turned off. However, there is a display of time and some other misc info that remains displayed as long as there is power to the unit.
