I know it looks that way in the pic...
but the LCD really is mounted square and flush back in the DD5 bracket. I first noticed it when I was editing the pics in Photoshop for the article. Went and checked - and square as could be. A trick of light I guess... or camera angle.

You might consider running those LEDs at full intensity, but that would be a much more extensive mod.

I considered wiring the LEDs in pairs and then powering each pair from 12V thru a resistor but decided to keep it simple. I don't think the 0.5V is making that much difference - they are really bright. I suspect the real problem is the LCD polarizing filter is probably optimized for red-yellow wavelengths and not transmitting the blue as well.
I'll wait for the next gen DD5 for the VFD...
