Jolida JD 100 Display Dim? Owner's please reply

I have just bought a Jd100 from a fellow Audiogoner and I noticed that that display is barley readable in daylight at about two feet away. The seller said that he bought it new and it has always been that way and is willing to take it back. Is the dim display normal or should I accept his offer to return? Thank you in advance for your replies. Chris
