Command Screen Initially Dim

Anybody experienced this? My command screen has been getting dim when I first start the car. It seems to get brighter as it stays on for a period but not as bright as I remember it to be.

I have noticed the same thing on my 06 E320CDI recently with the cold weather we have been having. After driving for several minutes it gets brighter and looks normal. I thought it may be caused by a weak battery so I replaced the main battery as it was the original battery and has a few years service. It seems to be better but not like it was when it was warm. I am beginning to believe that the cold affects the display and that it may be normal. As long as doesn't get worst I am ok with it as it gets bright after a few minutes.

My 2003 E320 has always been like that. Im in CA so its never that cold here (Rarely gets under 40). It usually goes away in a few mins as you stated, never really considered it much of a problem

Has anybody here gotten a ghost image in their screen where the rectangular on screen buttons always go, when you are listening to radio or SAT? Is this something that we just live with?

Thing is mine wasn't always as dim and looking at it it doesn't really get as bright as I remember but it is getting really dim initially
