Hello, I just got my Gameduino 2 from adafruit and i have some questions, thes screen is for a consumer project, and it is supposed to be running 12+- hours a day, so my questions are:

Can I control screen Brightness?,
does it have something like a Power Saver mode?
Should i get a fan so the video controller doesnt get too hot?

Thank You.

Regarding heat, the power usage by the FT800 video controller is relatively minor. ~90% of the power is used by the LED backlights.
