Question Setting EVIC Screen

HI All:
First let me be clear I am not crazy! I was setting up the screen on my new 2013 1500 Big Horn and wanted to put the time in the lower right corner. I did it but something was not right. I put my glasses on as the numbers are small and the first number, it was 1:13 PM, was upside down. I told my wife and got the "How many beers have you had today" look.

Took her out side to see and she confirmed it. Any body heard of this before?

ROTFLMAO... sorry, i just had to laugh at that one, i`d go get some more beer, eventually YOU`LL be upside down and the clock will look normal...lol.
Other than that, have you read your owners manual...??? Might be something in there about it.

He set the language for Australian english. Thus upside down numbers.

Honestly sounds like a bug. Probably just the right combo of settings changes triggered it. Sounds to me like a reflash might be in order or some sort of factory reset.

O.K. Here is what I found after 3 other people looked at the EVIC. All said the first numeral looked funny, which was the number 1. Now the bottom left and right areas when you put some information in them the readout is 1/3 the size of the top left and right. So It took my reading glasses and a large magnifying glass to see that the image is so compressed the two separator dots : run into the first numeral. The number 2 and so on are not as bad, but still a little off.
I just switched the top and bottom readouts and now the clock readout is 3 times as big and fine.
I am glad I gave you all a good laugh, anytime you can make someone laugh it's a good day.
