When I bought mine in January the blue background was so dark that it was almost black. Over the next 3 weeks the blue faded considerably until it was a medium blue.
I downloaded some backgrounds which had red buttons on a blue background, and that made reading the display somewhat easier.
I guess I am lucky that the fading was uniform across the entire screen and not splotchy like so many others have reported.

The LCD screen seems to go from blue to light-blue-white
at the top & bottom corners. It's more pronounced
at the bottom corners. I know it's a low rez
screen, but can anyone else tell me if their remote
looks like this? Do you have a solid BLUE background
on your 880 LCD screen? Mine is most assuredly
not solid blue.
Thanks,
