Brand new LP II, arrived today. Right out of the box, the LCD has dark phantom characters in the blank spaces between actual characters that change along with the actual characters. It almost looks like LCD burn-in. 
Also, anyone else get an LP II with a greenish black anodized extrusion instead of plain black?
I just got my LP today, and it is a little dark between characters; like it was burned into the screen.
Mine has what appear to be actual letters/numbers being dispayed where there should be blank spaces. And they change when a patch is changed. They’re a few shades lighter than the characters that should be there, otherwise the display would be totally unreadable. 
There are some dark pixels as I scroll through the patches, and some of them are dark enough to look a bit like letters, but it’s still readable. shrug
I don’t want to have to send my Moog in to have the whole screen replaced. 
It seems there are some faulty units amongst the Stage II’s..
Is there a LCD contrast adjustment in the LP II’s menu ? I don’t recall it in the TELP and I am not near it or the manual to check. Just a thought 
, it could well be a faulty LCD It happens , none of us like it to but it happens
Nope.
Um, I think that’s obvious. Your point being?
Edit: Sorry to come off frustrated, but it seems I’m on my second faulty LP II in a row…as well as my third defective Waldorf Blofeld-the lettering rubbed off of three of these!..and third damaged or defective Eventide H8000FW-first two were damaged in shipping, third has non-functional AD/DA. 
…Needless to say I’ve had it with poor quality control.
T7, where did you order the Stage II from? I’m thinking it may not be Moog’s fault, but rather shoddy handling.
I can’t imagine shoddy handling was the cause for a bad LCD. In any case it was packed quite well.
It’s possible Moog got in a bunch of bad LCD’s then. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I’m sure they’ll come up with a solution. They always do. Good luck! 
If that solution is a new LP II, great! 
My point is that if you had not looked in the menu yet and if there was an adjustment try that… if there is no adjustment for LCD contrast in the menus then yes you could have a faulty LCD. There could be another adjustment for it that is not user accessible, I’d call Moog. Or yes, it could be a bad batch of LCD’s that have gone by un noticed. Like I said things happen and slip by even the best. I am sorry you and others are having problems but I am also sure it will be worked out.
As in, nope, there is no LCD contrast adjustment available in the LP menus. I RTFM before I post.
Same thing here - just got mine today and it looks like an LCD contrast issue. Hopefully it’s adjustable but mine isn’t so horrible that I can’t live with it.
I thought this stuff was tested before shipping..
It usually is. Perhaps they have too much on their plate right now, and let a few duds roll by? Seems awful unusual for Moog, though.
My LP TE had this problem with the LCD where it would become scrambled
after a few hours. it would change the patch preset names and they would
become nonsense, with the LCD actually looking corrupted. I didn’t ever get
a solution to this - until we moved house. The power loop my Phatty is on now
is independent from the rest of the house. I got a 15 amp loop installed just for the
studio. And the Phatty’s LCD has always worked correctly ever since.
So my suggestion is to try it on a different power source if possible, just to rule
out any interference or poor power distribution in your room. The Phatty appears
to be a bit sensitive to all that.

Some people don’t read the fine manual

Hehe.. 
This is quite worrying! I’m planning on picking my new LP up next week!
I hope I don’t face any of the problems that you guys have been burdened with. I’m gonna request to take it out of the box and try it out before I take it from the retailer.
Fingers crossed
