oldnick, assuming you're talking about your D2 (as this is posted in the D4 section), there seems to be issues with the D2 clusters with respect to the displays fading. See the following thread:

although in this instance the display is dim and is more visible as it becomes warm. I have a similar problem to yours, but only with the time/date display, in that the left side of it gradually fades. I thought someone else had posted about the display fading, but can't find it.

Found the other thread:
