    126

    New to garmin. Dedicated FFS unit

    Read through all the posts here and otherwise. Down to 106 or 126 for dedicated live scope. Read clearer picture with 106 due to same pixel count on 10” vs 12”. Ready to purchase. Need up to date, current thoughts before pulling trigger.

    thanks in advance.

    I would go with the 12". The bigger screen is easier to see. If they are both going to show the same number of pixels, just a little bigger pixels on the 12" may not mean, clearer on the 10
    . Even so, the amount of clearer would not trump size in this comparison.

    The 12" screen is better in my opinion. The 126 is a good unit.

    Ordered the 126. Thanks all. Now looking at the 16v lithium for dedicated power source. Any thoughts on that or tricks and tips I need to know?
