OK the Brightness setting on the secret menu has made a huge difference to the video output on the main screen. I turned it up to 10 and it is almost too bright now. So problem solved, and methinks last piece in my carpc puzzle (apart from writing my own big button front end ) Amazed no FFRR owners had related this secret menu before, well, that I could find.

Thanks to all for the advice and support along the way on this one. .
