Sorry I didn't post this sooner, but to the folks looking to purchase a filter to reduce the harshness of the 950's VFD display, you might try this URL:

Also, to everyone else, is the 50% brightness flicker problem something unique to my 950 or do they all do that? My unit is circa Feb 2003: it's a "blue-dot" model that I upgraded with the new Cirrus chip to fix the DTS LFE problem.

Should I be worried/concerned about the flickering display? I would really like to keep the display dimmed, but I don't simply because of the flicker issue.

Comments appreciated!
