I recall reading somewhere that the brightness will have no effect on TFT and this is to be expected. Mine is a 701CS (dual-scan: draws less power and can't be read by the passenger on your side in the airplane) and the brightness is adjustable. >>> peckham@netcom.com (Peckham Engineering) 01/17/97 07:58pm >>> Hi, I also have a 701c regarding your questions-- __________________ peckham@netcom.com On Fri, 17 Jan 1997, Myoung-Jun Kim wrote: > I have several things to bothering me.
