Double Vision on Speed Display

hawkmoon77 · 08-06-2009, 05:32 PM

I have not seen anyone comment on this before, but what's with the double vision on the speed display. When i first got the car, I thought it was my glasses. Then I thought it was a night-time reflection. I now know it is on every display I've seen, including the picture I saw of the company who made it showing it off at a trade show. In every picture, there is a double image.

I wonder why Toyota didn't consider this an issue. Does it bother anyone else?

I've owned a 2006 and currently a 2010 and can't say I've ever noticed a double image on my speed display. It is just a projection so maybe depending upon seating position it becomes more noticeable?

I thought it was a defect at first, until I saw the same thing in every publication.

If you do a google image search for "2010 prius display" or "2010 prius touch tracer", you'll see that in every picture there is a distinct double image. The fainter image appears just above the main display by about 1/4 of an inch. I see it from every angle.

I still think it is a defect.

I don't know, I see it in the link you provided (it's quite obvious there) but I've never experienced that in my own car...

I think that has to do with the angle of the photograph. I suspect when viewed straight-on, one doesnt see the layers of the display.

Blue pills or red pills, I still have never experienced a double image like that.

Never experienced that either. Well, not in the Prius.
