    Which 12 inch unit should I buy?

    I’m going to be buying a new unit for Live Scoping, I have never used Live Scope. I want the best unit I can get and not have problems. I would like to buy a 12 inch unit.

    if you are seeking the very best unit, the 8412 or 8612. It will have the best resolution and highest quality imaging. If you are looking for a very good unit that is more affordable than the 84/8612 I'd recommend the 1222. Feel free to call us at: 316-313-4113, this is what we do everyday!

    So for live scope only the 1222 is better then the 126sv Ultra 1 (discontinued model). The 8412 or 8612 just out of my price range.

    There is a difference in resolution on a lot of the Garmin units.

    8412 is 1920 x 1200
    8612 is 1920 x 1080
    1222 is 1280 x 800

    So, depending on the resolution of your choice, there is a slight difference.

    Don’t be fooled by resolution numbers as the only thing that truly matters is screen size.The best bang for livescope is 1222 or 126 on sale .The 8612 is really a 11 screen at best it’s definitely horrible for scope at 4000 dollar price.

    This might sound like a stupid question this day in age but does the 1222 show the time?

    Why get the 8412 over 8612 if they are the same price?
