SGX - screen issue or is this "normal"?

[pwrfade]

Have an SGX - which I love by the way - even after forking over the $30 per year. In any case, I noticed this right when I got it - never called them about it - and now well out of warranty, but thought I would check if other users have experienced the same. Does not impact usability - and not that big a deal - but thought I would check....so here is what I am seeing.

 

When I am playing and light conditions change - like moving from out of the cart in bright sunlight back into the cart in shade - the unit will evidently "sense" that I am in a slightly darker situation and the screen will brighten - but only for a second - and then it will dim back to the original backlight strength - then it may do it again - basically flipping from stronger backlight to 'normal' backlight strength - almost like it can not quite decide which backlight strength to adopt.

 

So is this normal? Is there some setting I can adjust in terms of maybe the duration of how long the backlight stays brighter?

 

Like I said - not a big deal and I would never spend money to have it fixed if it is indeed a flaw with my unit, but thought I would check with you guys to see if anyone knows what is going on - or has experienced the same.

 

Thanks -

well - just got off an online chat with Skycaddie tech support and thought I would share what they told me - and how great it is that they have 24x7 online chat support?

In any case, they suggested that I set the backlight down from 100% to 80% to stop what I was seeing - when I went in to the Preferences section I noticed there is also an 'auto backlight' option - so I set it at 90% because I like the brighter screen - and turned off the 'auto backlight' - will see what that does for me next time I use the unit - and if that does not work will try the 80% backlight and auto backlight on -

Anyway, I noted this earlier - but I LOVE this unit - and paying the $30 annual while a pain is worth it to me.
