FL Dimmers

Hi,

I have a Pioneer DVD player and there's an option to dim the display on the
front of the player and even switch it off. I am sure I read somewhere that
you get benefits from switching it off.

Anyone know what sort of benefits you get by switching it off? If any.

T.I.A.

What kind of benefits are you looking for? IMO, the only thing you're
likely to benefit from is increasing the life of the display, having
said that my Pioneer 717's display is perfect even after thousands of
hours of use (over a 5+ year period) and I've never used the dimming
function.

Not having a green glow in the corner of the room?

Plus a marginal power saving, I suppose.

Some people say it effects the analogue audio sections. I've never heard the
difference. But if you use the digital outputs (audio) then the only reason
is cosmetic. I turn mine of because I never look/use the FP display, and
it's distracting (esp blue DD LED, other bright LED/FL display etc)
