When in dimmer mode (headlights on), only the bottom row of pixels do not light up equally to the rest of the display. It almost looks as if the pixels are bad. But when headlights are turned off, all pixels look perfect from top to bottom.

For the record, never had a prob with 1.03 or earlier. Any thoughts?

I noticed this too, but didn't associate it with the dimmer settings. I thought it had fixed itself next time I got in the car (in daylight), so didn't report it.

I have seen this, but only on boot up. And i am not sure why its in dim mode. I didnt have the headlights on in previous use and its much dimmer than i have the headlights dim set too anyway. i would say it happens 1 out 5 cold boots in the car.

I've realized that when the dimmer setting is set to 30% or less, I get the unilluminated pixels, but when I go above 30 to about 40% or higher, they fill in properly. Fortunately for me 40% is fine for 'in the dark' viewing.

Anyone else notice this?
