[Premium-Rx] Display question on WJ LCD's used in WJ-9605controllers

[Phillps]

Spencer
This would seem an important factor in the maintenance of these models, as 
it seems to be a weak link in what is otherwise a very well made equipment. 
Of course, you can always control them from an external interface.  At the 
moment my two dual Rx's are OK, but one has a more positive appearance that 
the other, so I would be pleased to hear of any advice that you receive to 
solve the problem.
thanks
Roy
