Hello folks!

I noticed when using the KX3 portable with the backlight disabled the LC 
display becomes hard to read at certain lower viewing angles.

It would be nice if there would be a LCD contrast setting in the menu that lets 
the user control the contrast setting at his preferred viewing angle.

I have had a look at the schematic and it seems the contrast is set via an 
anlog output of the MCU. It should not be too hard to implement such a feature 
in one of the next MCU firmware releases...

Many thanks!
