It is a computer screen, LCD if I recall. Heat adversely affects them. It is also a computer, and all computers run slower when they get hot. They've put a lot of research into minimizing these effects, but it's still an issue.

You may have a faulty screen but it's somewhat normal behavior for these screens to run slower when hot.

I always put up a sunscreen when I park mine.. Helps keep the heat out and the AC will start cooling much faster.
