Center screen temperature too high

The temperature of the screen is too high, what is the nominal and maximum allowed temperature of the center screen.

Usually, the operation temperature for LCD monitors are from -20 c (-4 f) to 70 c (158 f).

Have you noticed the screen dim? When mine overheats, it not only feels hot to the touch but the screen becomes very dim and unresponsive. Not totally dead though.

I haven’t had any issues with the instrument cluster display.

Same here.
From my experience when the temperature of the screen is too high, it becomes much slower. which is very sad. Is it a defect?

This is not a defect. Hardware can only operate within certain temperatures. Have you ever left your phone in the sun? It will turn off or sometimes require that it cools down before it can be used. My suggestion is to add ceramic tint to your vehicle so the sun is not hitting it directly.

Consider purchasing a folding sunshade to fit inside the windshield to hold temperatures in the cabin down a little when the car sits in the sun. I got mine from Covercraft: fits great and works well.
