Thanks - I tested at night and it does dim, slightly. It's because the daytime brightness is reduced apparently.

Coming from an A/V perspective the color and brightness/contrast are off. The older smaller matte screen had a better image.
The way to perk it up would be to improve the brightness (white levels). Everything has a subtle greenish hue. You can tell when reversing and white stripes in the ground aren't white, when they were before. I can live with that.
Contrast (black levels) are fine. No need to adjust. I just don't want the image to be duller than the one before.
I wonder if this is just because its a limitation of the display and the newer ones improved each year, or some setting (not code, an idrive menu) I had adjusted and don't remember where.
