because literally ther eis NOTHING there when i turn it down.

This sounds like a problem to me, although I was also thinking about the variance in display brightness. I don't want to speak for Hugo, but when I was having the difficulty with my display, he mentioned that his display was very readable at the 0% level. My advice would be to contact someone at empeg directly and ask them questions.
