I was looking at a friends Spider IV combo. The LCD display would go dark shortly after choosing a patch. Normal, not normal?

This can be changed in the settings. Download the manual from the line 6 website. Its Luke 40 pages, but some of this stuff is not intuitive. Read through the manual to find your answer.

Hello,Based on my own experience, this is the problem with the LCD panel. In the case of mine, the digitizer (the touch glass) is cracked but still working, but there is a black strip along the crack on the LCD. After replacing the LCD, everything is working fine now.

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

Read the information on the site.I returned mine because the website doesnt work reliably and the display is way to dim.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I never had that problem with mine. My problem was the LCD display showing erratic characters on it.

You can adjust the color and brightness of the display. In standard mode it's too bright at night. Switch to red or green and it's fine (but hard to read in sunlight).

nope, its all blacked out.. sometimes i miss the standard housing, cause with the black housing i dont know if im recording or what im doing, so the only way to know if im recording, its view the lcd in my mirror...

Just got mine today and noticed some dead pixels on the LCD as well. Have yours gone away? Did more show up?

I made setting adjustments, updated the firmware and have since watched scenes with dark backgrounds and it seems to have gone away? Don't know why for sure but so far, so good. Thought the same. Perhaps it is a HDMI cable issue but was seeing it both on tv broadcasts as well as DVD so felt it must have been related to some sort of setting? Don't think both of my HDMI cables would have been bad! Thanks.

I did the same thing. I did put a protector on it, praying that it would help. Someone told me it won't, that the screen will eventually spider web

I can only can give my opinion but, in any past experience I have had regarding LED displays like this is not good. Generally, you would have to replace The whole display module.... But I might be wrong. :0/

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

Anyone experienced led ghosting (light leaks) in a full black screen? If so, how was your exchange experience?

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....
