Multifunction Display Issue (W212)

The past couple of days i’ve noticed my E350’s center screen as been becoming blurry?

Well that is odd. You didn’t scratch or etch the plastic lens when cleaning?

Can the illumination level be adjusted? Seems to glow a bit too much but that could be the photo.

Could it be fogging?
Pump up your tires

It looks to me as if the space between the screen and the plastic cover is fogged up.

Changing the level of brightness sums it yes but the display still looks the same.

I don’t believe so the only factor is i let my brother drive the car and he has one of those vaporizers and maybe he blew smoke into it?

Looking at your photo and mine, it appears your numerals are also a smoky color, wherein they should be bright white.

Not sure if that could have done anything, but I wouldn't let anyone smoke or vape in my car so I wouldn't know.

The vaping is a different ballpark for me if it were cigarettes or anything else then it would be unacceptable
