HUD - does the image look fuzzy to you?

Been using the HUD. The HUD image looks a little fuzzy to my eyes. Like it is slightly out of focus. If I raise my head closer to the roof, the image becomes sharper. I have good eye sight and I don't need to wear glasses to drive or do anything.

Do you have the same experience or does the HUD look sharp to you all the time? Thanks.

Did you tweak yours at all? Turn/angle/raise/lower it and brighten or darken it to your likings? I didn't notice the fuzziness you're talking about but I did need to move it around a little.

Hi. I did make some adjustment but it doesn't seem to help. I will have to try it again. The only thing that has worked is to sit higher. I may need to borrow my mom in law's old lady driving cushion.

Only thing I can think of is when the detail dept cleaned your car for delivery they may of sprayed the inside windshield with some sort of cleaner, and overspray from it may of dried up on the HUD lens.

MpowerLex, Thanks for the suggestion, I will go see if there is something on the HUD projector. The way it is fussy, it gives me a headache.

My solution is to set the seat to the highest position and also closer to the dashboard, so I look at the HUD from a higher, sharper angle. That makes the HUD image sharper to my eyes.
