This may not be normal. I have experienced this as well, and sent my player back for warranty repair. When returned, I found the display improved by 300%. My display is perfectly readable now.

Read this post, and tell me if it sounds familiar. If so, contact Hugo because he knows what was wrong with mine (I think it was a blown circuit or something like that).
