tigerman Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Just brought a new DX8 .IT is all OK and works fine but the LED Display if I leave it in a cold room is hard to read but if you move to a warmer room and give the transmitter time to warm it is fine .Is this normal or do I have a problem with the DX8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 That does not sound good. I’ve got a DX9, and the screen is constant, even on a freezing flying day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Crook Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I've got a gen 1 DX8 and the screen is fine at all temperatures. Worth speaking to the retailer in the first instance. These are getting scarce now as the NX8 is replacing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban8 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Keep TXs away from extremes of temp change both cold and hot - my 2012 DX7's display goes completely black if I inadvertently leave it it full summer sun for ten or fifteen minutes but returns to normal when put in shade for a while. Different display technologies react in varying degrees, but most devices based on liquid crystals will not like operating in extremes of temp, usually becoming sluggish or losing definition. I have a DX8G2 and haven't noticed any display problems, but I'm very careful to keep it out of full sun and feel the cold far too much to be out in temps that would affect it anyway! My car satnav is clever enough to give a warning and shut down when it gets too hot in direct sunlight under the windscreen.

EvilC57 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) If I’m flying on a sunny day, I always prop the transmitter (G1 DX8) up against something when I’m not using it, with the display facing away from the sun.

Chris Walby Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 When its really cold I find the displays are more difficult to read on both my DX8 gen 1 and DX8 gen2, I don't adjust the display, but just make sure the TX is not stored or operated in subzero temperatures for long.
