Auto dimming works a little too much, and I found it too dim with the auto dimming enabled. I adjusted the brightness manually and leave it there (its a little too dim with the lights on, but perfect at night). I understand the new firmware will have a "minimum brightness" setting which should resolve the auto dimming issue (too dim) at night if you use auto dimming. The black background is really gray (after all, its an LCD screen and you can't get true black). You can see the rectangle, but it still looks good at night. I don't think you'll have an issue with either auto dimming (if you like it really dim), or manually adjusting it. -- eap ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68141 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
