Default Dim Sat Nav screen

I have a 2005 Forester 2.5XT and for the last few months the Sat Nav screen has been very dull at start up and takes a good 20 or so minutes of the car running before the screen shows normal brightness.
I have had the screen replaced but still the same. Car battery is ok (12.5volts with engine off, 14.5 volts with car running.

Any suggestions?

Is it LCD? They can be affected by this realy cold weather i.e. very dim until warmed up. Could it simply be this?

Yes - it is an LCD screen, but I do not think that it is a temperature issue. It did not start up dim for the first couple of years that I had the car. As the screen has been replaced I was coming round to the idea that it might be something to do with the sat nav computer itself
