Something is wrong, you should be able to read that 2019 Dash in the middle of the Sahara with the sun beating down directly overhead.

Check the manual, you can adjust the contrast.

I've had a bright sun make it difficult to read any other data on the screen other than the large digital display of the speed. And while I am moving, that is the only info that I really need. Mine is also a 2019 PCX150. FWIW, I have never been a real fan of digital speedometers, but I seem to have adjusted well to this one. But mostly I don't worry about speed; its hard to get in trouble speed wise with this tiny little engine.

Mine is an 18 but to me knowing the speed is important for safety, e.g. quick glance on a downhill turn allows a more accurate estimate of how the bike will be behaving and how much braking force to apply. It's also fun knowing it's going 79 mph uphill loaded (j.k. 49 :D )
