    Seems a lot of electronics are going to the 16:9 ratio instead of the 4:3 like the 1100 series. The 800 and 900 series used the 16:9 displays.

    BZ, ask Wayne how he likes the display of his Helix12 when comparing it to the 1198/99 screen!

    I never was shy about buying the last season's new kid...LOL

    I keep thinking I can't put anything bigger between the glass & the wheel, but if I moved the H12SI up next to the H12DI - I could run my stuff 2560 pixels wide like I used to do with my 859/899 unit split screen 24" of 16:9 wide...


    Then maybe a H10 on the passenger dash??
    Hey Brian sell me yours CHEAP you ain't using it!!

    H12, using split screen with 70 % as 360 and 30% as Chart or 2D, the 360 side is about same size as a 1100 series full screen.

    The 360 circle is 1 1/2" larger in diameter than the 360 circle on the 1100 series full screen without zooming either one.

    This is max right side which is 80%. Changing to 70% does not change the 360 size.

    I use the Front display like this most of the time to get full screen width since I don't need to see what is behind me.

    Is that the refraction of the TM shaft and your hull I see in the 10-ring at about 4 and 6 O'clock Wayne?
