Mine is blurry too. And in the sunlight it looks as if it was combed with a sharp fork. I've only had the car for 3 1/2 months. It came that way and I was too dumb to complain right away. It is a safety hazard when you are driving down the road and move your head to look at the screen.

Who's had the dealer take care of this issue?

Me.
Read the posts in this thread.

Here's the TSB for the blurry A/C control display.

My AC screen is green and chrystal clear. Weird. Probably a bad manufacturing lot. I would go to the dealer and compare yours with other another new Prius on the dealers lot.

Okay, so I can look at my AC screen and see what looks like a little blur effect. Readable but blurred edges. But my VIN is above the BEFORE VINs listed in the TSB. Is there still an ongoing issue about this? I'm not certain when or if this might ever become a concern but if something isn't right with my car then now is the time to address it. I saw a couple of blurred examples in earlier posts and mine isn't far from them but... How does this get resolved now?

As far as I can tell my serial number is lower than all those listed. Mine starts with 00 and then is less than 37997 which is listed as the first row in the table. But you could also just call Toyota and see what they say.

OK - I think my A/C screen is blurry (though readable) - is the TB above also valid in Germany? does any German reader of PC, or at least in EU, tell me if they had this done on their Priuses as well?
Thanks.

I had to go in for the recall computer upgrade. I gave them a printout of the TB and they were surprised a customer had this information. But I was casual, I said they could decide if my car qualified. At this dealer you drive into the garage when you drop off your car, so it does not show the blurriness in full glory (I mentioned they should take it outside for the full effect). And the tech seemed to have never heard of this issue, though he took the time to read the TB. Anyway when I was done they said I qualified for the replacement and they would order the parts and get back to me. So I am pretty happy I did not have to fight for the replacement, and pretty happy with my dealer. I really like this dealership as their waiting room has work benches with power and free Wifi so I can do email and stuff while I wait. They also have good coffee and free doughnuts (though I passed on these). Anyway it took a while (1 hour) but I had plenty of work email to do.
